Preparation and characterisation of new oxide ion conductors in the Bi2-(W, Mo)-6 system

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 spectro...
