A series of acceptor-doped ceramics based on the solid solution, (1-x)BaTiO3–xBi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3(BT-BZT), wherex= 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, were prepared via solid-state synthesis to investigate the effect of doping and BZT content on conduction properties. Impedance spectroscopy measurements showed an increase in conductivity through acceptor doping with Mg on the Ti-site (). Ceramics of the composition, 0.80BaTiO3–0.20Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3with 3 mol%, showed the highest conductivity in this study at 1.28 mScm−1(~ 600 °C), an order of magnitude improvement over the stoichiometric composition. Variable pO2impedance measurements revealedp-type conductivity in the grain while EMF measurements showed that above ~ 550 °C, ions are the dominant charge carriers (transference number,ti= 0.91 at 735 °C). Similarly, all 3 mol% Mg-doped compositions abovex= 0.1 were primarily ionic conductors with transference numbers aboveti= 0.79 (735 °C). X-ray diffraction data showed a pseudocubic primary phase for all samples with evidence of additional impurity phases accompanying samples with 3 mol%or greater.
