Summary: | Ion intercalation of perovskite oxides in liquid electrolytes is a very promising method for controlling their functional properties while storing charge, which opens the potential application in different energy and information technologies. Although the role of defect chemistry in the oxygen intercalation in a gaseous environment is well established, the mechanism of ion intercalation in liquid electrolytes at room temperature is poorly understood. In this study, the defect chemistry during ion intercalation of La0.5Sr0.5FeO3-{\delta} thin films in alkaline electrolytes is studied. Oxygen and proton intercalation into the LSF perovskite structure is observed at moderate electrochemical potentials (0.5 V to -0.4 V), giving rise to a change in the oxidation state of Fe (as a charge compensation mechanism). The variation of the concentration of holes as a function of the intercalation potential was characterized by in-situ ellipsometry and the concentration of electron holes was indirectly quantified for different electrochemical potentials. Finally, a dilute defect chemistry model that describes the variation of defect species during ionic intercalation was developed. |
