Microstructures and charge carrier transport of some Li2O doped glassy ceramics

We study electrical conductivity of new Li2O doped glassy ceramics in wide frequency and temperature regime not only for their applicability in various fields like lithium ion conductors but also for academic interest. Here, we employ Mott's variable range hopping model to analyse low temperature DC conductivity data. The microstructures and electrical conductivity of them have been explored and correlated. We do believe that these glassy ceramics are suitable candidates for lithium ion battery application. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
