AbstractFluoride compounds with the tysonite (LaF3- type) crystal structure form an important class of materials which find diverse technological applications as fast ionic conductors. The results of investigations of the ionic conductivity process within tysonite structured R1-xMxF3-x single crystals (R=rare earths and M=alkali-rare earths) are presented using various techniques of electrical response spectroscopy. Influence of isomorphic substitutions of iso- and heterovalent cations on ion transport parameters was studied. By monitoring the composition of nonstoichiometric R1-xMxF3-x. crystals we can vary fluorine-ion conductivity within the range 10−7 - 10−4 S/cm at 293 K and 10−4 - 10−2 S/cm at 500 K. The studied nonstoichiometric crystals with the LaF3-structure are promising solid electrolytes which can be used in chemical sensors and fluorine generators.

<p>Owing to highly conductive solid ionic conductors, all-solid-state batteries attract significant attention as promising next-generation energy storage devices. A lot of research is invested in the search and optimization of solid electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity. However, a systematic study of an <i>interlaboratory reproducibility</i> of measured ionic conductivities and activation energies is missing, making the comparison of absolute values in literature challenging. In this study, we perform an uncertainty evaluation via a Round Robin approach using different Li-argyrodites exhibiting orders of magnitude different ionic conductivities as reference materials. Identical samples are distributed to different research laboratories and the conductivities and activation barriers are measured by impedance spectroscopy. The results show large ranges of up to 4.5 mScm<sup>-1</sup> in the measured total ionic conductivity (1.3 – 5.8 mScm<sup>-1</sup> for the highest conducting sample, relative standard deviation 35 – 50% across all samples) and up to 128 meV for the activation barriers (198 – 326 meV, relative standard deviation 5 – 15%, across all samples), presenting the necessity of a more rigorous methodology including further collaborations within the community and multiplicate measurements.</p>

In this work, a pair of biopolymer materials has been used to prepare high ion-conducting electrolytes for energy storage application (ESA). The chitosan:methylcellulose (CS:MC) blend was selected as a host for the ammonium thiocyanate NH4SCN dopant salt. Three different concentrations of glycerol was successfully incorporated as a plasticizer into the CS–MC–NH4SCN electrolyte system. The structural, electrical, and ion transport properties were investigated. The highest conductivity of 2.29 × 10−4 S cm−1 is recorded for the electrolyte incorporated 42 wt.% of plasticizer. The complexation and interaction of polymer electrolyte components are studied using the FTIR spectra. The deconvolution (DVN) of FTIR peaks as a sensitive method was used to calculate ion transport parameters. The percentage of free ions is found to influence the transport parameters of number density (n), ionic mobility (µ), and diffusion coefficient (D). All electrolytes in this work obey the non-Debye behavior. The highest conductivity electrolyte exhibits the dominancy of ions, where the ionic transference number, tion value of (0.976) is near to infinity with a voltage of breakdown of 2.11 V. The fabricated electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) achieves the highest specific capacitance, Cs of 98.08 F/g at 10 mV/s by using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique.

Solid State ion conductors are sucessfully employed in chemical sensors for gases such as oxygen for process control and environmental protection. The application requires elevated temperatures for sufficiently high ionic conductivity and is restricted to a few gases for which suitable solid electrolytes are available.

Abstract Use of solid state ionic conductors the so-called Solid Electrolytes has brought new impetus to the field of solid state memories namely resistive random access memory (Re-RAM). In this review article, to begin we present the detailed understanding on the basics of solid electrolytes. Later, the same has been reviewed focusing on its application in novel solid state memory applications. Few examples of solid electrolytes are considered and their impact on the state-of-art research in this domain is discussed in detail. An in-depth analysis on the fundamentals of Resistive switching mechanism involved in various classes of Memristive devices viz., Electrochemical Metallization Memories (ECM) and Valence change Memories (VCM). A few important applications of Memristors such as Neuristor and artificial synapse in neuromorphic computing are reviewed as well. Finally, the most anticipated energy efficient battery-like cells as artificial synapse in brain-inspired computing is also covered.
