Abstract

Lithium ion transport has been studied in bismuth lithium phosphate glasses in the frequency range 20 Hz–1 MHz and in the temperature range 423–573 K using impedance spectroscopy. The addition of Bi2O3 in Li2O·P2O5 glass is related to the modification of the glass structure and facilitates the Li+ ions migration. The ac and dc conductivities, activation energy of the dc conductivity and relaxation frequency are extracted from the impedance spectra. Conductivity of the present glass system is found to be ionic in nature. The electrical response of the glasses has been studied using both conductivity and electric modulus formalisms. A single ‘master curve’ for normalized plots of all the modulus isotherms observed for a given composition indicates the temperature independence of the dynamic processes for ions in these glasses. Nearly identical values of activation energy for dc conduction and for conductivity relaxation time indicate that the ions overcome same energy barrier while conducting and relaxing.
