Gibbs energy of formation of NiTiO 3 (ilmenite) relative to its component oxides, NiO (rock salt) and TiO 2 (rutile), has been measured employing the solid-state electrochemical cell, (Ϫ)Pt,Ni ϩ TiO 2 ϩ NiTiO 3 //(Y 2 O 3 )ZrO 2 //Ni ϩ NiO,Pt(ϩ) between 994 and 1371 K. The open-circuit electromotive force (emf) of the preceding solid-state galvanic cell was found to be reversible and to vary linearly as a function of temperature in the range of measurement. The results obtained in this study give for the reactionCombining the Gibbs energy of formation of NiTiO 3 (ilm) from the component oxides with that for the formation of NiO (rs) from its elements gives for the reaction Ni (s) ϩ TiO 2 (rut) ϩ 1/2O 2 (g) → NiTiO 3 (ilm) ⌬GЊ ϭ Ϫ246,442 ϩ 88.78T )051ע( J mol Ϫ1 Differential thermal analysis (DTA) of NiTiO 3 (ilm) between 373 and 1623 K indicated that NiTiO 3 (ilm) undergoes a reversible order-disorder phase transformation between 1540 and 1594 K. Based on the ideal mixing of cations on the cationic sublattice of NiTiO 3 (ilm) and a critical phase transformation of 1568 K obtained from the DTA, the Gibbs energy change for the order-disorder phase transformation in NiTiO 3 (ilm) is obtained as ϭ 18,073 Ϫ 11.526T )0001ע( J mol Ϫ1 ⌬GЊ Tr
