M. Wasiucionek et Mw. Breiter, LOW-TEMPERATURE IONIC-CONDUCTIVITY OF RELEVANT SOLUTIONS AND OF SIO2 GELS BEFORE AND AFTER EXCHANGES IN PROPYLENE CARBONATE SOLUTIONS, Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 443(1), 1998, pp. 117-124
The ionic conductivities of a series of SiO2 gels both as-received and
exchanged in propylene carbonate solutions (PC, LiPF6 + PC and LiBF4PC) were measured in the temperature range 120-300 K. Relevant solutio
ns were also studied. The temperature dependences of the conductivity
of fresh sols and as-received gels did not follow the Arrhenius equati
on. They were fitted using the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher formula. After th
e solvent exchanges, the temperature dependence of the conductivity of
the gels resembled that of the exchange solutions. (C) 1998 Elsevier
