Abstract:
For the first time, a standard formation enthalpy for the K5Gd(MoO4)4 compound was measured by solution calorimetry. Stabilization energy and lattice enthalpy were calculated. It was shown that the compound is thermodynamically stable with respect to decomposition into simple oxides, which makes it promising for practical applications.
Keywords:potassium molybdate doped by gadolinium, formation enthalpy, stabilization energy, lattice enthalpy, solution calorimetry, solid state synthesis.
