Cuprous Ion Conduction in Oxyhalide Glasses of the System CuBr ‐ Cu2MoO4 ‐ Cu3 PO 4

Abstract

Cuprous ion‐conducting glasses were prepared in the pseudo‐ternary system . These glasses exhibited high ionic conductivities in the range of 100 to 10−3 Sm−1 at room temperature. The infrared spectra showed that these glasses were composed of Cu+, Br−, monomer , and monomer ions, and were classified as "ionic glasses" containing one type of cations and three different types of anions. The conductivity of these glasses increased with an increase in the amount of Cu+ ions associated with the component. Substitution of anions for anions caused a decrease in the conductivity of the glasses containing a given content.
