Abstract
New ceramic materials with a high rubidium-cation conductivity in Rb3−2xMxPO4 (M = Zn, Cd) systems have been synthesized and studied. It has been found that the introduction of Zn2+ and Cd2+ cations leads to a sharp increase in the electrical conductivity of rubidium orthophosphate due to the formation of cation vacancies and the stabilization of the high-temperature cubic modification of Rb3PO4. The maximum conductivity has been observed in compositions with x = 0.15−0.30 and has the values of 10−1 S cm−1 at 700°C and (2.0−2.5) × 10−2 S cm−1 at 400°C. The factors influencing the transport properties of the materials under study have been discussed.
