They Work was undertaken to investigate the effect of are, however, limited to temperatures greater than antimony dopant in the (Bil_xSbx)sPbsO17 system on 600 °C because of their high cell impedance and slow the mechanical properties of the material. This letter kinetic behaviour at lower temperatures. Methods to describes the effect of antimony on bismuth-lead reduce the cell impedance have included thin film oxide with respect to the change in the modulus of technology [1] such as electrochemical vapour depo- rupture and hardness of the material. sition, plasma spraying and the use of materials with The starting materials used in this work were higher ionic conductivities.
