Studies on Ag<inf>6</inf>I<inf>4</inf>CrO<inf>4</inf> thinfilm solid electrolyte

An electrolytic method for preparation of thinfilms of solid electrolyte Ag6I4CrO4 on a silver substrate is described. X-ray diffraction, SEM and electrical conductivity studies of various films prepared at different temperatures and different current densities reveal that the films prepared at 33°C and at a current density of 2mA cm-2 are of best quality. These films showed an electrical conductivity of 1.3×10-2Ω-1cm-1 at room temperature with an activation energy of 0.08 eV for silver ion migration. © 1983.
