Testing the Applicability of an Expression for the Non-Arrhenius Ionic Conductivity in Solid Electrolytes

Abstract

In a previous study, we have proposed a model that describes the non-Arrhenius ionic conduction behavior in superionic glasses. In the present report, the model is applied to analyze the conductivity behavior of a wide variety of solid electrolytes that include crystals, glasses, polymers, composites and mixed ionic-electronic conductors. From the analysis of the model, the physical factor responsible for the non-Arrhenius behavior has been extracted and discussed.
