Abstract

Up to 10 atom.% of $Li^+,Zn^{2+}, Al^{3+}, Ti^{4+} and Ge^{4+}$ readily substitute for vanadium in $Bi_4V_2O_{11}$ stabilizing $\alpha/\gamma$ structures. The $\gamma$-phases are good oxygen-ion conductors, the Ti-substituted $\gamma$-phase, $Bi_4V_{1.8}Ti_{0.2}O_{10.9}$, being the best ionic conductor among all the substituted bismuth vanadates investigated. It is conjectured that a high ionic potential of the dopant cation facilitates oxygen-ion mobility in the disordered phase of the substituted bismuth vanadate.
