Abstract
A wet chemistry method applied to the synthesis of bismuth–molybdenum oxides leads to the low temperature synthesis of a new phase with composition Bi 10Mo 3O 24. The crystal data have been determined by ab initio indexing of the powder pattern. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, with unit-cell parameters a = 23.7235 ( 4 ) , b = 5.64720 ( 8 ) , c = 8.6798 ( 1 ) Å , β = 95.879 ( 1 ) ° and V = 1156.73 Å 3 . A preliminary heavy-atom skeleton related to the fluorite structure allowed us to postulate a layer structure with composition [Bi 10O 12] n [MoO 4] 3 n . This compound has been processed by spark plasma sintering as a ceramic material, exhibiting good ionic conductor properties in the whole temperature range of stability.
