Summary:The ion mobility and conductivity in solid solutions with the fluorite structure (100– x )KBiF 4 + xZrF 4 , where x = 2.5–15 mol %, is studied by the methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 19 F NMR. The character and type of ion transport in the fluorite sublattice of solid solutions are studied as well as the temperature intervals in which it is observed (150–570 K). For solid solutions containing 5 and 10 mol % ZrF 4 , the fluorine ion diffusion coefficient is assessed. It is found that the conductivity in the solid solution systematically decreases as the content of zirconium tetrafluoride in the sample decreases, which is probably due to the formation of strongly bound complexes formed by interstitial fluoride ions with zirconium cations. The presence of the high ionic conductivity in the tested solid solutions (from ~10 –3 to 10 –2 S/cm) makes this material a good candidate for preparation of materials with the high ion-conducting properties.
