Electrical performance and oxygen relaxation behaviour in Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x compounds were investigated. The oxide ion conductivity of Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x compounds increased first and then decreased with increasing Mg-doped content. The highest oxide ion conductivity of 4.7 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 773 K was observed for the Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 0.96 Mg 0.04 O 2.96 compound. A typical relaxation peak in the Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x samples was observed. The activation energy and pre-exponential factors were determined as (1.0 eV, 4.7 × 10 −16 s) and (0.94−1.0 eV, 6.8 × 10 −14 −3.1 × 10 −13 s) from internal friction and dielectric relaxation measurement, respectively. The lower oxide ion conductivity in Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x (x = 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) compounds may arise from the lower vacancy mobility. Judging from the electrical performance and relaxation parameters, although lower-level Mgdoping can improve oxide ionic conductor, oxygen vacancy mobility in Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x compounds cannot be improved with increasing Mg-doping content. These results will be meaningful to ameliorate the electrical properties of Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 Ti 1−x Mg x O 3−x compounds and understand the relationship between the electrical properties and structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
