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.
