Abstract
A new ionically conducting (primarily protonic) gel system xNa(2)SiO(3) + ( 100 - x)NH4BF4 has been prepared. The gelling took place in a limited compo sitional range with x = 15 to 50 mol%. The NH4BF4 (which normally sublimes) gets stabilized in the gel matrix. Samples have been characterized by IR, DTA/TGA, impedance spectroscopy and transference number measurements. The t emperature and humidity dependence of conductivity has also been studied.
