Abstract BackgroundSolid-state electrolytes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) with high ionic conductivities has attracted great interest for electrochemical applications because of their interesting ionic conduction. MethodsComples impedance spectroscopy (CIS) was used to study the electrical properties of Phosphate-sulfatefluorapatite.FindingsPhosphate-sulfatefluorapatite Ca10-xNax(PO4)6-x(SO4)xF2(x = 0;3;6) ,have been synthesized by the solid-state reaction at high temperature.The samples have been characterized by X-ray Diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman scattering spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques. XRD study shows that these materials crystallize in the hexagonal system with P63/m as a space group. An impedance analysis has been used to analyze the electrical behavior of the samples at different temperatures. Evidence of temperature-dependent electrical relaxation phenomena is observed. The bulk resistance decreases with increasing temperature, showing a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR).Ac-conductivity measurements have been performed on a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. The ionic conductivity follows the Arrhenius and the Jonscher laws.

Nanoconfinement is an effective strategy to tune the properties of the metal hydrides. It has been extensively employed to modify the ionic conductivity of LiBH4 as an electrolyte for Li-ion batteries. However, the approach does not seem to be applicable to other borohydrides such as NaBH4, which is found to reach a limited improvement in ionic conductivity of 10−7 S cm−1 at 115 °C upon nanoconfinement in Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41) instead of 10−8 S cm−1. In comparison, introducing large cage anions in the form of Na2B12H12 naturally formed upon the nanoconfinement of NaBH4 was found to be more effective in leading to higher ionic conductivities of 10−4 S cm−1 at 110 °C.

Abstract In this work, the effect of varying the size of the precursor raw materials SiO2 and ZrO2 in the solid-state synthesis of NASICON in the form Na3Zr2Si2PO12 was studied. Nanoscale and macro-scale precursor materials were selected for comparison purposes, and a range of sintering times were examined (10, 24 and 40 h) at a temperature of 1230 °C. Na3Zr2Si2PO12 pellets produced from nanopowder precursors were found to produce substantially higher ionic conductivities, with improved morphology and higher density than those produced from larger micron-scaled precursors. The nanoparticle precursors were shown to give a maximum ionic conductivity of 1.16 × 10−3 S cm−1 when sintered at 1230 °C for 40 h, in the higher range of published solid-state Na3Zr2Si2PO12 conductivities. The macro-precursors gave lower ionic conductivity of 0.62 × 10−3 S cm−1 under the same processing conditions. Most current authors do not quote or consider the precursor particle size for solid-state synthesis of Na3Zr2Si2PO12. This study shows the importance of precursor powder particle size in the microstructure and performance of Na3Zr2Si2PO12 during solid-state synthesis and offers a route to improved predictability and consistency of the manufacturing process.

A single phase perovskite, YxSr1−xTi0.6Fe0.4O3-δ(x=0.06-0.09), was fabricated at 1350°C in air by sol-gel method. The effects of Y-and Fe-doping into SrTiO3on phase structure, electrical conductivity, ionic conductivity and its impedance behavior were investigated. The optimized Y0.07Sr0.93Fe0.4Ti0.6O3-δsample exhibits an electrical conductivity of 0.135 S·cm-1at 800 °C. Y-doping decreases the migration energy for oxygen ions, leading to a significant increase in ionic conductivity. The ionic conductivity of Y0.09Sr0.91Ti0.6Fe0.4O3-δsample varies from 0.0052 S· cm-1at 600°C to 0.02 S·cm-1at 800°C. Impedance characteristics over a wide frequency range of 0.01Hz-100 KHz reveal that the resistance of ionic conduction is predominantly influenced by grain boundary, the relaxation time of which decreases with increase of Y-doping amount.

A single-phase lead-free ferroelectric compound, Fe[Formula: see text](NaLi)[Formula: see text]TiO3, is found at room temperature. The solid state reaction technique helps to process the sample at the calcination and sintering temperatures of 900 and 950[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C for 4 h respectively. The desired phase and crystal structure formation of the prepared sample are confirmed by analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and are found to be in orthorhombic structure. The correlation among phase formation and physical properties has been established by using complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) method over a wide range of frequencies (from 100 Hz to 1 MHz) and different temperatures (25–280[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C). The overlap depressed semicircular arcs represent the association of grain and grain boundary effects in the material. Activation energy [Formula: see text] is noted to be 1 eV for the prepared sample. The frequency dependent ac conductivity is followed by Jonscher’s universal power law. DC conductivity versus temperature graph also indicates the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior of the material.

AbstractAll solid-state lithium-ion transistors are considered as promising synaptic devices for building artificial neural networks for neuromorphic computing. However, the slow ionic conduction in existing electrolytes hinders the performance of lithium-ion-based synaptic transistors. In this study, we systematically explore the influence of ionic conductivity of electrolytes on the synaptic performance of ionic transistors. Isovalent chalcogenide substitution such as Se in Li3PO4 significantly reduces the activation energy for Li ion migration from 0.35 to 0.253 eV, leading to a fast ionic conduction. This high ionic conductivity allows linear conductance switching in the LiCoO2 channel with several discrete nonvolatile states and good retention for both potentiation and depression steps. Consequently, optimized devices demonstrate the smallest nonlinearity ratio of 0.12 and high on/off ratio of 19. However, Li3PO4 electrolyte (with lower ionic conductivity) shows asymmetric and nonlinear weight-update characteristics. Our findings show that the facilitation of Li ionic conduction in solid-state electrolyte suggests potential application in artificial synapse device development.

AbstractAlternating current conduction in BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) thin films has been studied over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. A power law relation was used to explain the frequency dependence of ac conductivity. In the higher frequency region, ac conductivity of the BBN thin films was temperature independent. The activation energy calculated from the Arrhenius plot of ac conductivity was found to be around 0.25 eV. It was attributed to shallow trap controlled space charge conduction in the bulk of the sample. The impedance analysis of the BBN thin films was also performed to gain insight into the microstructure of the films, including the characteristics of the grains, grain boundaries, and film-electrode interface. The response of a single RC combination has been observed for our case. The effect of other components, such as the grain boundary interface and electrode/film interface was negligible. The imaginary component of impedance (Z”) exhibited different peak maxima at different temperatures. A Debye mechanism was found to be appropriate to explain the polarization relaxation in BBN thin films.

We have calculated the ionic conductivities, which indicate that the ionic conductivities of the merchant LaF3 polycrystalline powder and the powder by microwave method are higher than the ones of LaF3 crystal and the powder by Sol-Gel method, to achieve 10-6 Scm-1, so, they are better ionic conductors at normal temperature and can be used as sensor base materials. The experimental data show that O- participates in ionic conduction.

Polycrystalline of [( Na 0.535 K 0.480)0.966 Li 0.058] (Nb 0.90 Ta 0.10) O 3 samples were prepared using the high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the formation of a single-phase with orthorhombic structure. AC impedance plots were used as tool to analyze the electrical behavior of the sample as a function of frequency at different temperatures. The AC impedance studies revealed the presence of grain effect, from 425°C onwards. Complex impedance analysis indicated non-Debye type dielectric relaxation. The Nyquist plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristic of NKLNT. The AC conductivity results were used to correlate with the barrier hopping (CBH) model to evaluate the binding energy (Wm), the minimum hopping distance (R min ), the density of states at Fermi level (N(Ef)), and the activation energy of the compound.

Abstract Understanding the relationship between structure, ionic conductivity, and synthesis is the key to the development of solid electrolytes for all-solid-state Lithium batteries. Here, we investigate chloride solid electrolytes with compositions Li3 − 3xM1+xCl6 (-0.14 < x ≤ 0.5, M = Tb, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm). When x > 0.04, a trigonal to orthorhombic phase transition occurs in the isostructural Li-Dy-Cl, Li-Ho-Cl, Li-Y-Cl, Li-Er-Cl and Li-Tm-Cl solid electrolytes. The new orthorhombic phase shows a four-fold increase in ionic conductivity up to 1.3×10− 3 S cm− 1 at room temperature for Li2.73Ho1.09Cl6 (x = 0.09) when compared to the trigonal Li3HoCl6. For isostructural Li-Dy-Cl, Li-Y-Cl, Li-Er-Cl and Li-Tm-Cl solid electrolytes, about one order of magnitude increase in ionic conductivities are observed for the orthorhombic structure compared to the trigonal structure. Using the Li-Ho-Cl components as an example, detailed studies of its structure, phase transition, ionic conductivity, air stability and electrochemical stability have been made. Molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory reveal that the different cations arrangement in the orthorhombic structure leads to a higher lithium diffusivity as compared to the trigonal structure, rationalizing the improved ionic conductivities of the new Li-M-Cl electrolytes. All-solid-state batteries of In/Li2.73Ho1.09Cl6/NMC811 demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance at both room temperature and − 10°C. As relevant to the vast number of isostructural halide electrolytes, the present structure control strategy provides guidance for the design of novel halide superionic conductors.

<p>This research synthesized a cermet Ni-YSZ, in which the YSZ (yttria stabilized-zirconia) was synthesized from the local zircon sand, ZrSiO<sub>4</sub>, as a side product of tin mining plant in Bangka island, Indonesia. The synthesized YSZ in this research is zirconia, ZrO<sub>2</sub> doped by 8 % mol of yttrium dioxide. The synthesis used solid state reaction method and the result was characterized its crystal structure and its cell parameters by XRD analysis equipped with Le Bail refinement, surface morphology analysis, and an impedance analysis to understand its ionic conductivity. The cermet Ni-YSZ was synthesized at a various composition of Ni:YSZ i.e., 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 (b/b). The analysis shows that Ni-YSZ is in two phases of Ni and YSZ without any presence of a third phase. It indicates that there was no solid state reaction between Ni and YSZ during synthesis. In this Ni-YSZ cermet, the Ni phase in a cubic structure, and the YSZ is also in a cubic structure. Morphological study shows that the addition of Ni to YSZ allows the morphology to become more roughness with larger grain size. This research found that the Ni-YSZ 20:80 has highest ionic conductivity.</p>
