Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 ceramics were synthetized by conventional solid-state reaction. XRD measurement analysis shows that the Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample is the single perovskite structures. The oxide ion conductivity of the Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample was investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy measurement. The bulk conductivity of Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample can arrive at 2.22×10-4 S/cm at 573 K in air atmosphere. By changing measuring temperature of dielectric frequency spectroscopy measurement, the activation energy E and pre-exponential factor τ0 are E= 0.81 eV, τ0=1.5×10-13 s for Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample, respectively. Judging from the relaxation parameters, the dielectric loss peaks correspond to oxide ion via vacancies diffusion in Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample. Compared with the same dopant amount Na0.5Bi0.5Ti0.94Mg0.06O2.94 compound, the better oxygen vacancy mobility and larger specific free volume Vsf might be responsible for the favourable oxide ion conductivity in the Na0.5Bi0.44Ca0.06TiO2.97 sample, indicating that calcium modified Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 materials are promising for intermediate-temperature solid electrochemical devices
