Abstract

(WO3)0.15(BiO1.5)0.85 exhibits a tetragonal structure derived from the fluorite subcell. The electrical conductivity of (WO3)0.15(BiO1.5)0.85 is lower than that of Y2O3-doped Bi2O3. The structure and electrical conductivity of samples formulated as (YO1.5) x (WO3)0.15(BiO1.5)0.85- x (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) were investigated. The as-sintered (YO1.5)0.1(WO3)0.15(BiO1.5)0.75 exhibited a single cubic structure that is isostructural with δ-Bi2O3. For x = 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4, the as-sintered samples consisted of a cubic fluorite structure and rhombohedral Y6WO12. After heat treatment at 600 °C for 200 h, the cubic structures are stable for x = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.4. A transformation from cubic to rhombohedral phase after heat treatment at 600 °C for 200 h was observed in the sample originally formulated as (YO1.5)0.2(WO3)0.15(BiO1.5)0.65.
