Abstract
Solid state electrolytes, where the electric current is due exclusively to the movement of ions, have been known for a long time. Until recently they played only a minor role in solid state science. The situation changed, however, drastically in the last two decades for two reasons: (1) the discovery of new ionic conductors with enhanced conductivity even at moderate temperatures (optimized ionic conductors; so-called “superionic conductors”), (2) the growing interest in energy storage and conversion systems in industry. New ionic conductors are required to meet the demands of solid state batteries: small rechargeable primary cells with longevity, and high energy density (secondary) batteries. On the other hand, galvanic cells with solid electrolytes are also of great importance for scientific applications in thermodynamics as well as for kinetic investigations [1].
