SO4. The solid solubility limits up to x≤3 mole% for monovalent, x≤5.27 mole% for divalent and x≤3.63 mole% for trivalent cation doped Ag2SO4 are set with XRD, SEM, IR and DSC techniques. A predominant dependence of conductivity on the ionic size of iso- and alio-valent cations is observed. In particular, the conductivity enhances in both α and β phases, despite having a lower ionic-size dopant cation (relative to that of Ag+) in the transition element cation doped Ag2SO4. Ca2+, Ba2+, Y3+ and Dy3+ doped samples show depature from the regular behaviour in the β-phase. The conductivity behaviour is discussed considering ionic size, valence and electronic structure of the guest cations.
