Recent progress in superionic conductors is widely attributed to rigorous advancements in ionic transport theory in solid crystals, physics and chemistry of crystalline superionic conductors and technically to inventions and innovations in solid state batteries, superionic capacitors, sensors and a multitude of other devices. The present authors have over a period of two decades, carried out a variety of research involving superionic conductors, covering many aspects of scientific investigation such as structural study using neutron diffraction, impedance and conductivity measurements and secondary battery cell measurements. Excerpts from these various activities are described and presented in this paper,and the future of superionic materials

   research at BATAN is briefly stated.

  Keywords: Solid Crystalline, Superionics, BATAN

  INTRODUCTION

  Ionic solids have been a subject of study of physics for a long past, ever since Faraday noted the remarkable ionic properties of Ag

2 S and PbF at 177 °C and 500 °C respectively back in

  1834. The transport in such materials is partly or wholly governed by ions. Such materials having high ionic conductivity are called fast ionic conductors and have found wide application in solid state devices such as batteries, capacitors, timers, pacemakers, etc. The history of solid State Ionics began formally when Ag

  3 SI was found as a room temperature

  • high conductivity solid Ag ion conductor and was applied to the electrolyte for Ag/I

  2

  batteries around 1960. Innovations of new technologies invariably depend on the developments of new materials which facilitate also new technical inventions and discoveries.

  The present authors at BATAN have over a period of two decades carried out research mainly on solid crystalline superionic conductors. Studies thus carried out here at BATAN over a period of two decades covering areas such as experimental work in basic materials research, theoretical calculation as well as applied research. In this condensed and abridged review paper, the results of research carried out over a period of two decades on various superionic conductors such as silver-, copper, beta-alumina as well as Li based superionic conductors are presented and described.

  Copper-based ionic solids

  Copper-based ionic solids, such as solid solutions, chemical compounds and composites have been a subject of study of physics for a long period of time [4,5,6,7].

  CuS compound is one of the technologically very important electrolyte materials for all solid state batteries. CuS compounds have been used in metallic nano-wires, either formed in break-junctions or between a scanning tunnelling microscope tip and suitable substrates, and have been studied and used in molecular electronics and quantized conductance measurements. The conductivity of an ionic conductor is determined by the rate at which they are able to hop from site to site in the material. The a.c. conductivity

       

  (1) where (0) is the d.c. conductivity, A is a temperature dependent parameter and n is found to take values 0 and 1. Jonscher [8] has suggested that this power law is a

  of materials that is related to the dynamics of hopping conduction. Almond et al have shown [10], that there is a simple relationship between

  At BATAN composite sample CuS-C has been prepared and its conductivity data analyzed. The purpose of adding C to form the composite is in order to enhance the ionic conduction of the sample, since the presence of C may provide more pathways for the ionic conduction. CuS-C composite superionic conductor conductivity measured using the computerized RLC spectrometer located at the BKAN-PTBIN laboratory in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz – 0.1 MHz, at room temperature, 100

  C and 200 C is shown in Figure 2.

  The data is clearly divided into two segments, as shown in figure 2. For frequencies from 0.1 Hz to up to 9.0 kHz the curve is mainly flat and practically no frequency dispersion is observed, this is shown in figure 2 and the conductivity seems to converge to the steady-

  state value of 0.5708 (Scm ). The experimental data for all temperatures shows a clear anomaly at frequencies of 9.0 kHz and higher, as shown in figure 2. The frequency dependent part clearly indicates the predominance of ionic hopping conduction mechanism at frequencies of 9.0 kHz and higher, and the ionic hopping rate could then be calculated by

   p fitting the conductivity values to equation (1) and using equation (2). A.c. conductivity data at three temperatures were found to fit equations (1) and (2), providing the values of (0), A, n and  p shown in table 1.

The solid line is a guide to the eyes

  The physical origin of this behaviour may be attributed to copper ion redistribution mechanism in the crystal lattice, as well as to conduction ions interaction in the samples. The results presented in this work seem to support the universal law of dielectric response in superionic conductors [9].

  Alumina based superionic conductors

  The physical properties of oxides-based and Li based superionics have been investigated extensively, because of their high ionic-conductivity and their potential as solid electrolytes in high-energy density batteries and fuel-cell [10]. Especially today, solid state electrochemical devices based on lithium and also magnesium have received much attention because of the low equivalent weight of these elements [11]. Results of a.c. conductivity measurements on Al

  2 O 3 with LiO and MgO prepared in composite morphology and

  isomorphic with conventional Na.Al

composite at various temperatures.

  Solid Crystalline Superionics: Two Decades of Research at BATAN

  The data is clearly divided into four different behaviour for each temperature. The pattern for room temperature and 300 C shows an almost linear and increasing curve. The pattern for the 200 C curve consists of two distorted semicircles. The 100 C curve consists of two almost linear frequency dependent with a discontinuity at 100 Hz. This is understandable because since this is a composite, different component would show different frequency dependent conductivity behaviour at different temperatures. The frequency- independent conductivity (

   at frequency  0) does not seem to converge to the same steady-state value, which means that the d.c. conductivity in this type of composite is temperature dependent.

  The experimental data for all temperatures shows a clear anomaly at frequencies of 9.0 kHz and higher. For frequencies from 0.1 Hz to up to 9.0 kHz the curve is mainly flat and practically no frequency dispersion is observed, and the conductivity seems to converge to

  • 1 the steady-state value of 0.5708 (Scm ).

  The values of d.c. conductivity, (0), as function of temperature are extrapolated from the frequency-dependent curves in figure 4 for the value of () when the angular frequency

   approaches zero. The d.c. conductivity is then plotted in conventional Arrhenius format as ln( (0)T) vs. 1/T in figure 5, where T is the absolute temperature. From the Arrhenius plot of the conductivity in figure 5, no smooth slope change or transition is observed. And the activation energy for conduction is found to be 0.021 eV.

  AC conductivity data at four temperatures were fitted to equations (1), providing the values of p shown in table 2. Conductivity dispersion at the higher (0), A, n and  temperatures and higher frequencies is associated with electrode polarization effects

  Materials Science and Technology

  The strong temperature dependence of A and n values shown in table 2 indicates the predominance of hopping mechanism for ionic conduction in this sample [10]. The values of the exponential parameter n are also shown plotted as function of temperature T in figure 6. The values for ionic hopping frequencies p show a gross anomaly, which means that

   equation (1) may not be valid for this type of materials. Also in another development research on other Li based compounds as cathode materials candidates have been started on compounds such as LiCoO and LiMnO [12].

  5 Solid battery research activities can be divided into two parts: First the basic research that

  leads to the synthesis and study basic properties of pure materials, such as the structure and electrochemical properties. The second involves a complete battery cell systems research that leads to the possibility of fabrication of commercial batteries in the future. Synthesis and structural study is basically a problem that is quite clear (straightforward) and presents a relatively good solution, although completion of the problem itself is actually quite complicated. Conversely, for the type of the second study, a few difficulties or problems appear, such as those related to the interpretation of experimental electrochemical data for this type of secondary battery cell [12].

  Secondary battery research activities has long been focused on RbAg

  4 I 5 electrolyte

  materials, due to the ionic conductivity of this electrolyte being one of the highest at room temperature among the various electrolyte materials [13]. One prospect is a special application of RbAg I electrolytes as a top-quality battery, namely as thermal batteries,

  4

  5

  batteries for specific applications in the high temperature operating range, which could also be used for multiple cycles by recharging. RbAg

  4 I 5 electrolyte material has several

  advantages for application as thermal batteries among other materials, such as thermal stability over a wide temperature range, and a shock-resistance to electrical output and is relatively stable with respect to changes in temperatures [14]. Here the present authors presented techniques and experimental results that benefit the recycling characteristics of the experiment with the configuration of the secondary battery cell anode / electrolyte / cathode Ag/RbAg

  4 I 5 /C [15]. Emphasis is placed on the problem of experiments involving the

  Solid Crystalline Superionics: Two Decades of Research at BATAN

  complete battery cells. A recycling trial is intended as part of an effort to optimize a system that had previously been known to function properly, or is specifically carried out with the intention of finding a new system. Cycling parameters should be selected in such a manner so that it can provide as much information as possible and are able to meet the expected requirements for a full-scale commercial battery. There are two kinds or types of recycling measurement (cycles). First is the galvanostatic recycling, and the second is the so called current-limited potentiostatic charge recycling. The second method was chosen because it is a better method. In this method the input current is deliberately kept below a certain maximum value, to avoid the problem of dendrite formation occurring at high current density [16]. Loss of capacity at the end of a charging cycle turns out to be far lower for the same values of charging time and galvanostatic current. The type of equipment used in this process is a controllable recycling unit. This instrument can be used for any combination pattern of a galvanostatic/ potentiostatic charging/ discharging cycle, while the electrostatic component could always be deactivated at certain preset time, charge and current.

  The charging current is set to be 8 A and current discharge is determined to be 3 A and the upper limit voltage is set at 0.5 V. The open circuit voltage (OCV) parameter in this cell configuration has been measured, and an OCV of 0.163 V has been obtained.

  In the discharge curve (Figure 7), the conversion efficiency of up to 800 cycles reached the figure of around 99.1% which indicates that the reversibility of secondary Ag/RbAg4I5/C battery cells can be considered as high. Furthermore, in the 800 cycle, besides a good reversibility, iodide corrosion degradation has not yet set in, as previously feared is going to be the case when the battery cell is stored away for a longer period of time [17].

The average diameter size of the cathode and anode is 20 mm, with a 5.0 mm thickness. This composite is then characterized by measuring the polarization and the discharge profiles.

The curves are obtained by charging the cell at a constant voltage of 1.5 V for 24 hours, and then measure the discharge at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The age of a battery is determined by various factors, including oxidation at the interface cathode and electrolyte, the electrolytic dendrite growth, self-diffusion in electrolyte etc. In general, the age of a cell is defined as the ability of

  The calculated neutron diffuse scattering of -Ag 3 SI at 538 K is shown in figure 11. The contribution to the second oscillatory peak was from Ag-Ag thermal displacements correlation, while the origin of the third oscillatory peak is yet unclear. The positions of the first and second oscillatory peaks in the calculated result do not match the observed experimental positions. It is suggested that strong anion-anion and anion-cation thermal displacement correlation and short-range-disorder should be included in the theoretical treatment to obtain better match in the peak positions.

  CONCLUSIONS

  Two decades of superionic crystals research at BATAN have been described and discussed in this abridged review paper. A lot of grounds have been covered; nevertheless a more focused direction should be undertaken if an optimized research goal is to be achieved at all. In this respect, the attainment of a commercially viable and technologically superior rechargeable secondary battery should be the final uncompromised goal of this long research effort. As far as this goal is concerned, some of the present authors are still pursuing these particular objectives, by also considering and taking into account the appearance of new and more challenging materials such as those based on nanotechnology. In other parallel developments, other group at BATAN namely the renewable battery group led by Professor E. Kartini is actively pursuing research in superionic conductors based upon glassy electrolytes, in thin film as well as in nano scale morphology. Again the final goal is a commercially viable device based on this type of materials.
