A study of ion transport in ternary mixed system (CdI2)c [(Ag2O)(WO3)]100−c (20≤c≤80)

This paper deals with the preparation of fast ionic solids in the ternary system (CdI2)c [(Ag2O)(WO3)]100−c (20≤c≤80) using the solid state reaction technique. Powder samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis and silver ionic transport number studies. These studies have revealed the existence of AgI and various phases in the different compositions of the system. The transport number measurements carried out by means of Wagnerʹs polarization technique and EMF method have shown that silver ions may be responsible for the observed ionic transport in these newly formed solid phases.
