Sodium bismuthate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaBiO3. It is a yellowish solid that is a strong oxidiser.It is not soluble in cold water. ... It is commercially available however commercial samples may be a mixture of bismuth(V) oxide, sodium carbonate and sodium peroxide.
Sodium Bismuthate has recently been identified as a unique material known as a three-dimensional topological Dirac semi-metal (3DTDS) that is a natural analog to 2D graphene, making it a promising material for the advancement of high technology applications
A nominal Bi-excess starting composition of sodium bismuth titanate, Na0.5Bi0.51TiO3.015 (NB0.51T) produces dielectric ceramics that exhibit mixed n-type and oxide-ion conductivity with an ionic transport number of ∼0.1 at ≥600 °C. The bulk electrical conductivity, σb, of NB0.51T ceramics under a dc bias field of ≤100 V cm−1 has been investigated by impedance spectroscopy. Over the temperature range ∼550 to 750 °C, σb increases by up to one order of magnitude under the dc bias and returns to its initial value on removal of the bias.
