Volta potential at metal-solid salt interface and real potentials of ions in solid electrolytes

Abstract

Experimental conditions and results of investigations of Volta potentials of metal-solidelectrolyte and solid electrolyte-aqueous electrolyte solution by means of the dynamic condenser method are presented. These investigations were made for silver-silver halides and silver-silver nitrate as well as for cadmium-cadmium halide systems. On the basis of measured Volta potentials the real potentials of ions in these solid electrolytes are calculated. These real potentials are the ionic components of the crystalline lattice energy in the sense of the Gibbs energy.
