Abstract

Oxygen-deficient layered bismuth oxides, Bi2Sr2M'2M”O11.5 [(M' = Nb, Ta) and (M” = Al, Ga)] were synthesized. Powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were usedto characterize the new materials' structures. The ionic conductivity was measuredusing impedance spectroscopy which indicated the existence of multiple conductive states in the new oxygen-deficient materials. Arrhenius plots of the conductivity showed discontinuities which were attributed to transitions between different conductive states. At 800ºC, Bi2Sr2Nb2GaO11.5 and Bi2Sr2Nb2A1O1.5, have ionic conductivities of 2.0×10−2 S/cm and 1.2×10−2 S/cm, respectively. Differential thermal analysis showed phase transitions in the oxygen-deficient materials. These transitionsoccurred at temperatures similar to those at which discontinuities were observed in the Arrhenius plots of the conductivity and are attributed to oxygen vacancy order/disorder transitions. The transference number was calculated for some of the samples by measuring both the EMF and the conductivity as a function of oxygen partial pressure. Under atmospheric conditions the new materials are predominantly ionic conductors.
