Abstract
Oxide ion and electron conduction in sintered oxides of the system Bi2O3-Pr6O11 have been studied. Two types of rhombohedral phase are formed in this system. Oxide ion conduction is predominant in the rhombohedralβ-phase present in the composition range less than 35 mol% Pr2O11/3. Electronic (hole) conduction appeared in addition to oxide ion conduction in another rhombohedral phase containing more than 40 mol% Pr2O11/3. This phase is of the LaOF-type which is a distorted defect fluoritetype structure. Electronic conduction in the LaOF-type phase is considered to be due to the change of oxidation state of praseodymium at high temperatures.
