Abstract: The samples of Bi 2 V 0.9 Cu 0.1-x Sn x O 5.5-δ (0≤ x ≤0.75) were prepared by solid-state reaction. Room temperature powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that the synthesized compounds present the tetragonal γ-phase structure. The measurement results show that doped-Sn benefits to the control of microstructure of the sample and favor its mechanic property though it doesn’t further improve the electrical conductivity of the system. The oxygen permeation measurement result indicates oxygen transport in Bi 2 V 0.9 Cu 0.1-x Sn x O 5.5-δ system is controlled mainly by the process of surface oxygen exchange.

Key words: Bi2V0.9Cu0.1-xSnxO5.5-δ, electrical conductivity, microstructure, oxygen permeation
