Research Abstract |
(1) New composite materials in which alpha-Agl was frozen in the superionic conducting glasses exhibited extremely high ion conductivities of about 10^<-2> - 10^<-1> Scm^<-1> at room temperature. (2) Kinetics for nucleation and growth of alpha-Agl crystals in Agl-based silver orthoborate glasses were studied by isothermal and nonisothermal measurmentsby DSC.A constant number of nuclei of alpha-Agl precipitated in a glass matrix grew three-dimensionally. (3) Composite silica gels containing HC10_4, WPA,H_2SO_4, or H_3PO_4 were prepared by the sol-gel method. The conductivities of the silica gels doped with the acid above ranged 10^<-4>-10^<-1> Scm^<-1>. (4) In the EC cell using HC10_4-doped silica gel film as a solid electrolyte remarkable coloration was observed when d.c. voltage was applied. (5) A conduction path of proton may be formed in the acid-doped silica gel structure and the interaction between the conduction paths and the silanol groups would affect the conductivities. The smaller interaction probably reslults in the higher proton conduction of the doped silica gel films.
