Abstract

The dehydration and the superprotonic transition behavior of Cs_0.75Rb_0.25H₂PO₄ have been investigated via thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. To enable measurements under the high water partial pressures required, a high humidity system (p_H2O = 0.02-0.8 atm) capable of weight change detection at 0.7% resolution and thermal events with 0.01 °C resolution was assembled. It has been found that the superprotonic phase transition temperature of Cs_0.75Rb_0.25H₂PO₄ is 231 °C, slightly higher than that of CsH₂PO₄. In contrast, dehydration of Cs_0.75Rb_0.25H₂PO₄ under p_H2O = 0.35 atm occurs at 265 °C, a somewhat lower temperature than that at which CsH₂PO₄ undergoes dehydration. Analysis of the temporal evolution of both transformations suggests a mechanism of continuous nucleation of the high temperature phase at a constant nucleation rate combined with three-dimensional growth.
