TL;DR: In this paper, Li ionic conductivity of Czochralski−grown Li3N single crystals using electrochemical transport measurements is reported. But the results are not comparable with the best data reported for Li β−alumina single crystals.
Abstract: Lithium ionic conductivity of Czochralski‐grown Li3N single crystals using electrochemical transport measurements is reported. The highest Li ionic conductivity was found perpendicular to the hexagonal c axis, the anisotropy decreasing from two to one decade between 20 and 200 °C. Ambient Li ionic conductivity parallel to the Li2N planes of the layer structure was found to be σ=10−3 Ω−1 cm−1 with an activation energy of 0.25 eV. These values are comparable with the best data reported for Li β‐alumina single crystals.

Abstract: Lithium ion conductivity in solid solutions formed between and has been measured as a function of temperature and composition using a‐c techniques. Highest conductivities were found at 50 and 60 mole percent (m/o) phosphate. Empirical conductivity parameters are presented and qualitatively analyzed in terms of structural and compositional effects. Unit cell parameters have been determined across the entire range of solid solution by x‐ray powder diffraction.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that crystal water not only provides a high ionic conductivity which is conditional for a fast electrochromic reaction but also stabilises electrocatalytically active surface sites for fast hydrogen or Li exchange with the adjacent electrolyte.
Abstract: WO3 films prepared under different conditions (evaporation, reactive sputtering and spraying of aqueous solutions of metatungstic acid) differ by orders of magnitude in their electrochromic sensitivity. Diffuse X-ray studies show the evaporated and sputtered films to be amorphous and to consists of a disordered network of corner sharing WO6 octahedra. Sprayed films have different degrees of crystallinity depending on spraying conditions. From differential scanning calorimetry we conclude that the crystal water present in most films strongly affects the local order of the corner sharing octahedra. We find that crystal water not only provides a high ionic conductivity which is conditional for a fast electrochromic reaction but also stabilises electrocatalytically active surface sites for fast hydrogen or Li exchange with the adjacent electrolyte.

Abstract: A brief phenomenological introduction to the important physical parameters involved in ionic conduction in solids is followed by order of magnitude estimates of these quantities for materials which can be considered to be fast ion conductors. Experimental techniques are outlined, and a comprehensive compilation of currently available data on fast ion conductors is presented. The conductivity and diffusion data are coupled with additional criteria to indicate broad classes of materials which may show enhanced ion conductivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical conductivities of tysonite-type fluorides based on in the sintered state were measured for various aliovalent cation dopants.
Abstract: The electrical conductivities of the tysonite‐type fluorides based on in the sintered state were measured for various aliovalent cation dopants. Doping of difluoride such as , , or up to 5 mole percent made the conductivity increase while the doping of tetrafluoride such as led it to decrease. These facts together with the experimental results of electrolysis indicated that the specimens were fluoride ion conductors resulting from the easy movement of fluoride ion vacancies. The activation energies for conduction at the high temperature range above 250°C were, in general, about 0.25 eV irrespective of divalent dopant species, while those at lower temperatures were depending on the dopant species. Their conductivities are, in general, higher than those of the electrolytes which are also the tysonite‐type fluorides. had the highest conductivity among the tysonite‐type fluorides ever examined.

Abstract: Reports measurements of the electrical conductivity and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation times T1, T2, T1 rho and T1D in BaF2 single crystals over a temperature range 300K-1200K The dominant process responsible for the 19F spin relaxation is self-diffusion The magnitude and temperature dependence of the relaxation times are satisfactorily interpreted using the Wolf theory Absolute values of diffusion coefficients calculated from NMR relaxation data assuming a vacancy diffusion process are in excellent agreement (within 15%) with those calculated from ionic conductivity data using the Nernst-Einstein relation From the temperature dependence studies, the diffusion parameters were determined The formation enthalpy for a Frenkel pair was found to be 191 eV and migration enthalpies for free F- vacancies and F- interstitialcies were found to be 057 and 076 eV respectively

Abstract: The electrical conductivity of lithium chloroaluminate has been investigated in the temperature range between room temperature and 180°C It is molten above 145°C The conduction is practically purely ionic and is attributed to the transport of lithium ions The experiments show high values for ionic conductivity in the solid state, only exceeded by Li‐β‐alumina and some LiI‐based materials At 25°C the conductivity was found to be , with an activation enthalpy for of 047 eV A‐C conductivity measurements were influenced by sample preparation and cell arrangement The ionic conductivities of this and several other newly found lithium ionic conductors, as well as those previously known, are compared in the temperature range between 20° and 250°C

TL;DR: In this paper, a galvanic cell was used to measure the conductivity, thermoelectric power, and Hall coefficient of the cell, and the phase diagrams were constructed front these results, especially from E vs T plots.
Abstract: Using the galvanic cell Cu|CuBr·C 6 H 12 N 4 CH 3 Br|Cu 2-δ VI|Pt, the deviation δ from the stoichiometric composition is varied up to 0.2 for Cu 2-δ Se, Cu 2-δ S and their alloys. Electronic conductivity, thermoelectric power and Hall coefficient are measured as functions of e.m.f. of the cell, E , and of temperature, T , (20°C∼200°C). The phase diagrams are constructed front these results, especially from E vs T plots, and the electrical properties arc interpreted by the use of a simple model. Further, the ionic conductivity is measured with the use of the cell in low temperature phase as well as in high temperature one. The value of E seems not to represent the Fermi kinetic energy even in the high temperature phase having the average structure. This is because of the largeness of δ, and can be interpreted as being due to the screening effect of carriers (holes) on copper ion vacancies.

Abstract: The self-diffusion coefficient D of silver ions in α-Ag 2 Te has been measured by the tracer technique using Ag 110m and the mobility µ of cations is estimated from the ionic conductivity σ. The ratio µ/ D is slightly deviated from the Einstein relation. This deviation is discussed in comparison with a theory appropriated to the average crystals proposed by Yokota.

TL;DR: In this article, the Schottky vacancy pair formation and the energy of a positive ion vacancy for migration and for the association with a divalent cation impurity were obtained from the ionic conductivity curve.
Abstract: Ionic conductivity of LiH crystal has been measured. The energy for Schottky vacancy pair formation (2.3±0.3 eV) and energies of a positive ion vacancy for migration and for the association with a divalent cation impurity (0.54 eV and 0.50 eV, respectively) were obtained from the ionic conductivity curve. The energy for the rotation of a vacancy around divalent cation was 0.38±0.02 eV from the measurements of ionic thermocurrent (ITC). Photoconductivity peaks at 5.05 eV and 6.7 eV are ascribed to the exciton and to the photoemission state, respectively. It is suggested that the defect properties of LiH are similar to those of LiCl and LiF and that the electronic properties are close to those of LiI.
