Abstract
We adopt a verified transition-state theory as well as the boundary perturbation method to calculate the ionic conductivities for a class of bismuth oxysulfates like \(\hbox {Bi}_9\hbox {SO}_{16.5}\) as well as \(\hbox {Bi}_6\hbox {S}_2\hbox {O}_{15}\). Our numerical results compared with previous experimental data of ionic conductivities of \(\hbox {Bi}_9\hbox {SO}_{16.5}\) (Smirnov et al. in Solid State Ionics 156:79–84, 2003) show rather good fit. We then predict numerically the ionic conductivities for \(\hbox {Bi}_6\hbox {S}_2\hbox {O}_{15}\) by selecting a suitable activation energy.
