“…The field emission of conducting ions from a solid electrolyte by applying a high voltage has been studied so far, and the emission of O ¹ ions from partially stabilized zirconia, 44) and the emission of Ag + ions from silver phosphate, a silver ion conductor, 45) have been reported. After Hosono reported that electrons were encapsulated in the cage-like 12CaO7Al 2 O 3 (C12A7) crystal and that the electrons could be replaced by other anion species, O ¹ , H ¹ , and F ¹ ion emissions from C12A7 were also reported one after another.…”

Materials with high ionic conductivity are attracting a great deal of attention because they are indispensable for improving the performance of batteries, sensors, and capacitors. Solid electrolytes, in particular, have a potential to compensate for the shortcomings of liquid electrolytes, and are the subject of intense research and development worldwide. One of the big characteristics of glass is its high formability. Here we are focusing on glasselectrolytes. Differences between "superionic conductive glasses" and "ordinary glasses", as well as the mixed alkali effect will be overviewed. In addition, glasses can retain large residual stress inside that can reach the order of several GPa depending on the cooling conditions. These residual stresses also affect ionic conductivity. Recent results on the application of glass formability and softening fluidity to the formation of interfaces in allsolid-state batteries, and to ion emission from sharpened glasses are reviewed.

Copper ion conducting solid electrolyte Rb4Cu16I6.5Cl13.5 was prepared by means of mechano-chemical method. The structure and morphology of the powder was investigated by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The grain size was estimated to be 0.2–0.9 μm and the ionic conductivity at room temperature was approximately 0.206 S/cm. The solid electrolyte Rb4Cu16I6.5Cl13.5 was exploited for copper ion beam generation. The copper ion emission current of several nA was successfully obtained at acceleration voltages of 15 kV and temperature of 197 °C in vacuum of 2.1 × 10−4 Pa. A good linear correlation between the logarithmic ion current (log I) and the square root of the acceleration voltage (U acc) at high voltage range was obtained, suggesting the Schottky emission mechanism in the process of copper ion beam generation.

“…In addition, continuous silver ions emissions from an Ag + ion source based on (AgI) 0.5 -(AgPO 3 ) 0.5 SSE was reported by Escher et al in 2006. [20] RbAg 4 I 5 was prepared and investigated in the mid-1960s. [18] In 1967, Owens et al revealed that crystalline compound RbAg 4 I 5 exhibited superior ion conductivity of more than 10 1 S/m at 25 • C with negligible electronic contribution of < 10 −9 S/cm.…”

We fabricated a silver ion emitter based on the solid state electrolyte film of RbAg4I5 prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The RbAg4I5 target for PLD process was mechano-chemically synthesized by high-energy ball milling in Ar atmosphere using β-AgI and RbI as raw materials. The ion-conducting properties of RbAg4I5 were studied by alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy and the ionic conductivity at room temperature was estimated 0.21 S/m. The structure, morphology, and elemental composition of the RbAg4I5 film were investigated. The Ag+ ion-conducting property of the prepared superioni-conductor film was exploited for ion–beam generation. The temperature and accelerating voltage dependences of the ion current were studied. Few nA current was obtained at the temperature of 196 °C and the accelerating voltage of 10 kV.
