Abstract

IR and RS spectra, structural, thermodynamical and transport properties of CsHSO4 and CsHSO4/SiO2 composites have been investigated. It is shown that CsHSO4 is stabilized in composites in phase II (monoclinic modification), which turns into amorphous state with increasing silicon dioxide content. A formation of disordered highly conducting states of CsHSO4 in composites at the temperatures noticeably lower than superionic phase transition was stated. Bond length equalization in sulfate-ions, weakening of hydrogen bond system, and as a result easier proton transfer in composites in comparison with pure salt take place in these conducting states. Mechanism for formation of composites and their proton conductivity is proposed.
