The structure and conductivity of the new Li- and Mg-codoped bismuth niobates Bi1.5Mg1−xLixNb1.5O7−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) with the pyrochlore structure have been investigated. The samples were synthesized by the method of organic-inorganic precursors combustion. A structural characterization was performed using 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with the fitting of X-ray diffraction patterns. The Li+ cations dynamics were studied by temperature-dependent 7Li NMR lineshape analysis. The measurements have shown that the Li+ cations are distributed in one of two possible sublattices in the structure and are not mobile up to 120 °C. According to the results of structural analysis of the Bi1.5Mg1−xLixNb1.5O7−δ (x = 0.25; 0.50) pyrochlores the lithium atoms are distributed in the bismuth sites. The electrical properties were investigated by impedance spectroscopy method in the air, oxygen and “wet” atmospheres in the 25–750 °C temperature range. The activation energy value of dc conductivity is about 1.2–1.3 eV for the all samples and corresponds to the ionic (oxygen) conductivity at T > 400 °C. Electronic (p-type) conductivity was determined at T < 360 °C. 1H MAS NMR data and the results of the comparison of the conductivity of Li- and Mg-codoped bismuth niobates in dry and “wet” atmospheres point to the proton conductivity up to 500 °C. The dielectric permittivity ε′ values increase with lithium content from 86 (x = 0) to 143 (x = 0.5) at the same dielectric loss tanδ = 0.002 (1 MHz, 25 °C), TCC values vary from −590 to −530 ppm/°C in the 25–280 °C temperature range.
