Abstract

The contact between a silver electrode and the solid electrolyte RbAg4I5 is investigated by means of impedance and cyclic voltammetry. From the observed dependence of the electrolyte resistance and the maximum current density achievable in cyclic voltammetry on the pressure applied, an attempt is made to calculate the real contact areas.
