Silver Ion Conducting Electrolytes And Silver Solid-State Batteries

Silver ion conducting electrolytes are being explored as a material to be used in solid state batteries. This chapter provides a review of the advances in silver ion conducting solid electrolytes over the last 20 years. We discuss the advances that have been made in the synthesis of new electrolyte materials and provide conductivity values for new electrolytes reported. We then turn to a summary of the models of the origin and enhancement of silver ion conductivity in solid electrolytes with focus on those that have been proposed more recently. Finally, we review the progress of solid state batteries and include values for the reported energy density and voltage of the cells.
