Abstract

A quaternary super-ion-conducting system, 20CdI2 − 80[xAg2O − y(0.7V2O5 − 0.3B2O3)] where 1 ≤ x/y ≤ 3, has been prepared by melt quenching technique. The electrical conductivity measured was the order of 10−4  S/cm at room temperature. The values of silver-ion transport number obtained by electromotive force technique are nearly unity. The thermoelectric power and electrochemical studies were done on the CdI2–Ag2O–V2O5–B2O3 system. The discharge and polarization characteristics were examined for different cathodes to evaluate the utility of these cells as power sources for low energy applications.
