Study of Electrical Conductivity of Lithium Borate Ionically Conducting Glasses
Authors: M .D. Mehare
Abstract – Alkali ion conductors are of considerable interest because of their possible applications in solid state battery systems. The highly electropositive alkali ion provides the possibility of large cell voltage and very high energy densities. In general, particular material will be required to act as either an electrode or an electrolyte. Both application required high ionic conductivity, preferably at ambient or relatively low temperature. Lithium has a lower equivalent weight than sodium or potassium. It is also more electropositive and thus, provides the greater cell voltage than other two ions. Lithium has additional advantage that it can be handling more easily at room temperature than other alkali metals. On the basis of theoretical background and considering the advantage of amorphous solid electrolyte it was thought imperative to develop a lithium borate glass base solid electrolyte.
