Abstract

Ag_7+x(P_1-xGe_x)S₆-based superionic ceramic materials were prepared from microcrystalline powders. The phase composition and crystal structure of microcrystalline Ag_7+x(P_1-xGe_x)S₆ powders were investigated by XRD method. Ceramics were prepared by cold pressing with following annealing. The microstructure, elemental composition, microhardness and electrical properties of prepared Ag_7+x(P_1-xGe_x)S₆-based ceramic materials have been examined. Ceramics of Ag_7+x(P_1-xGe_x)S₆ solid solutions with x = 0.1, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75 demonstrated a sharp increase of ionic conductivity and a decrease in its activation energy compared to initial Ag₇PS₆ and Ag₈GeS₆. The maximum value of the ionic conductivity (4.29 × 10⁻² S/cm) is observed for composition Ag_7.5P_0.5Ge_0.5S₆. The electronic conductivity is not significant and is within 10⁻⁶ – 10⁻⁸ S/cm.

Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6陶瓷中微结构和晶体结构缺陷对离子传输的影响

以微晶粉末为原料制备了Ag7+x(P1-xGex) s6基超离子陶瓷材料。采用XRD法研究了微晶Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6粉末的物相组成和晶体结构。采用冷压退火法制备陶瓷。研究了制备的Ag7+x(P1-xGex) s6基陶瓷材料的显微组织、元素组成、显微硬度和电性能。与初始Ag7PS6和Ag8GeS6相比，x = 0.1、0.25、0.33、0.5、0.75的Ag7+x(P1-xGex)S6固溶体陶瓷的离子电导率显著提高，活化能显著降低。Ag7.5P0.5Ge0.5S6的离子电导率最大值为4.29 × 10−2 S/cm。电导率不显著，在10−6 ~ 10−8 S/cm之间。
