Abstract:

The various theoretical and experimental models for ion conduction mechanism of fast ion conducting (FIC) glass electrolytes have been reported in the present review paper. Some characterization techniques of FIC glasses are presented. The experimental methods for determination of some ion transport parameters viz ionic conductivity (σ), ionic mobility (μ), mobile ion concentration (n), ionic drift velocity (vd), ionic transference number (tion) and activation energies of FIC glasses are explained. The solid state battery fabrication by using some FIC glasses is also reported.
