Popis: Bismuth oxide, when stabilized in the face-centered cubic phase by lanthanide doping, has one of the highest oxygen-ion conductivities among all solid oxide electrolytes. We previously reported a time-dependent aging phenomenon in phase-stabilized bismuth oxides that involves ordering of the anion sublattice, as distinct from a crystallographic phase change, and results in decreased conductivity. In this paper, we report on the structural stability of the disordered lattice in terms of aging, as a function of both dopant species and dopant concentration. The aging rate decreases with both increased dopant cation radius and increased dopant concentration.
