Composite Materials of Synthetic Mordenite and AgI

Abstract

Composite materials made up of silver iodide and synthetic mordenite in sodium Na-MD or potassium form K-MD have been prepared by sintering a mixture of silver iodide and Na-MD or K-MD, by modified way of preparation. The prepared composites Na-MD/AgI and K-MD/AgI were characterised by X-ray powder diffractometry and thermal analysis. By integrating certain X-ray peaks quantitative reaction values were obtained. The composite Na-MD/AgI with 19 wt% of AgI content was also characterised by EDS analysis and ac conductivity measurements.
