The new oxide ion conductor related to the BIMEVOX family, BINICDVOX has been synthesized in the composition range 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20, using the sol-gel reaction route. The highly conducting tetragonal γ-type is stabilized down to room temperature for the compositions x ≥ 0.17. The conductivity and activation energies were calculated for all the synthesised samples, and it was found that as the thermal energy increases, the movement of oxide ion vacancy increases. The effect of the Ni-Cd double substitution on the electrical properties of Bi4V2O11 has been studied and found that the electrical conductivity has been significantly increased for the compositions x = 0.17 and x = 0.20.
