Abstract
The electrical conductivity of pyrophosphates M4P2O7 (M = Na, K, Rb, C s) was measured on alternating current in the temperature range of rou ghly 400 to 800-degrees-C. In all of the compounds under study, the co nduction is by alkali-metal cations. The electrical conductivity is ab out 10(-4) S/cm at 400-degrees-C and about 10(-2) S/cm at 800-degrees- C, and can be significantly increased through the introduction of modi fying additives.
