Oxygen Ion Conductivity in a New Class of Layered Bismuth Oxide Compounds
Keyword(s):
AbstractCompounds that consist of intergrowths between the Aurivillius phase Bi4Ti3O12 and brownmillerite-like slabs of BaMO2.5were synthesized and their oxygen ion conductivities investigated. Both BaBi4Ti3ScO14.5 and BaBi4Ti3InO14.5 display a discontinuity in their Arrhenius plots that appears to be caused by an oxygen vacancy order-disorder transition. Conductivity data for two Aurivillius phases BaBi4Ti4O15 and BaBi2Nb2O9 are included for comparison.
