Ion Conduction in Superionic Glassy Electrolytes: An Overview

Solid-State Lithium Ion Electrolytes

“…Chandra et al [11] recently published a thorough review on ion transport in FIC glasses. In most cases, ionic conduction is due to the motion of a single ionic species, either anion or cation.…”

“…GL electrolytes gained a great deal of attention during '80 and '90, chiefly because of their isotropic nature, which could allow direction-independent conductivity [10], absence of grain boundaries, ease preparation of thin films and wide attainable composition ranges [7]. At present, they are still investigated chiefly as model systems as far as concerns the relationships between local/medium range structure and transport properties [11], whereas possible technological applications are limited to anode-protective coatings for Li-O 2 batteries and electrolytes for some specific applications, e.g. in rechargeable batteries for intra-corporeal biomedical devices.…”

Superionic Solids in Energy Device Applications

“…4.8 holds excellently for the majority of the solid electrolyte systems including different kinds of electrolyte phases [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Electronic and ionic conductivity studies on microwave synthesized glasses containing transition metal ions

“…Horopanitis et al [10] pointed out that, the Li + transport in lithiated boron oxide glasses increases with Li 2 O concentration, not only due to Li + ion concentration but also due to structural modification. Ion conducting glasses with high Li + /Na + /Ag + /Cu + concentration are called fast ion conductors (FIC) and they are promising glassy electrolyte for the solid state batteries [5,11,12].…”
