Abstrakt: Electrochemical galvanostatic oxidation of strontium-substituted CaFeO2.5 at room temperature in an alkaline electrolyte is described. Samples with nominal composition Ca1– xSr xFeO2.5 were completely oxidized to the cubic perovskite at x≥0.25. The substitution at this level is accompanied by phase separation with formation of Ca- and Sr-enriched microdomains and a sharp increase in the reactivity of the matrix. The study confirms the phenomenological model which describes an anomalous rapid oxidation process in perovskites for such a low temperature as a result of long-range fast oxygen transport along microdomain walls, followed by slow diffusion over short distances in defect-free domains.
