Ionic Conductivities: Ionic solids contain defects that allow the migration of ions in an electric field. onic conduction is one mechanism of current.In solids, ions typically occupy fixed positions in the crystal lattice and do not move. However, ionic conduction can occur, especially as the temperature increasesSome solid materials have very high ionic conductivities at reasonable temperatures Applications of solid ionic conductors: Membranes in separation processes Electrolytes in sensors Electrolytes in fuel cells and batteries – should be a poor electronic conductor Electrode materials in solid state batteries – should be a good electronic and ionic conductor Exmaples: NaCl, AgCl Electronic conductivities Most often mxied ion-electron conductors are essentially electronic conductors.So if you have the possibility to generate electronic conductivity (with 3d metals for instance), think in priority that the main contribution is electronic. This comes from the fact that electron mobility is usually much higher than ionic one. so a bit of mixed valency is sufficient to generate higher electronic conductivity.
