| description | Bh W06, BhMo06 and their related materials were prepared by solid state reactions.
The phase purity of the materials was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD).
Further characterisation using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy,
differential thermal analysis (DTA) and impedance spectroscopy were carried out on
single phase materials. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) were also performed on selected samples.
Only Nb and Ta could be introduced as dopant into Bh W06 with rather limited
solid solution formation while introduction of dopants other than W into y-BbMo06
was unsuccessful. From results obtained in IR and DT A studies, it appears that the
metal-oxygen bondings in Nb- and Ta-doped materials are weaker as compared to
those in the parent material, Bi2W06. The conductivity of these materials was about
two orders of magnitude higher than that of Bi2 W06. Introduction of lower valency
cation results in the creation of oxygen vacancies resulting in higher conductivity. The IR and XRD patterns of both y-Bh W06 and y-BhMo06 are very similar since
the materials are isostructural.
Complete solid solutions in the y-Bh W06 - y-BhMo06 system were obtained when
prepared via low temperature route. This was made possible since the HumeRothery
rules were fully obeyed by these materials. However, some of these
materials were metastable and decomposed into mixed phases upon heating at
higher temperatures. Generally, the conductivity in the system was comparable.
The conductivity of y' -BhMo06 is very dependent on sintering temperature and
time. It is possible that loss of oxygen occurs upon sintering at elevated
temperatures leading to the formation of non-stoichiometric y' -BhMo06-S. From ac
impedance studies, oxide ions appear to be the main charge carriers in this material.
Phase diagram in the Bh W06 - Bi2Mo06 system was constructed based on results
obtained from different heating experiments, XRD and DTA results. |
