Abstract
Abstract Stable mixed metal oxide compositions containing nitrogen are formed by treating an oxygen-deficient perovskite composition with nitrogen dioxide. Preferably, the oxygen-deficient perovskite is of the formula X a Z b Cu c O h wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of yttrium, scandium, lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, bismuth and thallium, Z is a member selected from the group consisting of barium, strontium, calcium, magnesium and mixtures thereof, a is not less than 1, b is from 0 to 3, c is from 0 to 3, and h is not greater than about 6, and the mixed metal oxides are of the formula X a Z b Cu c N j O k where X, Z, a, b and c are as previously defined, j is from about 0.001 to about 3, and k is from about 6 to about 13.
