Polarization Studies on Solid State Electrolytes

Abstract

The purpose of this tutorial paper is to review the theory, the method of measurement and treatment of the data for experiments on polarized solid electrolytes according to the theory of C. Wagner and the developments of H. Rickert, K. Weiss, D. O. Raleigh, A. Joshi and others. Methods to obtain the total and electronic conductivities, transport number, number and mobility of electronic charge carriers and the double layer capacitance at the electrolyte-electrode interface are to be discussed. Examples will be chosen which exhibit good agreement with theory--primarily the silver and copper halides.
