The electrical properties of the ternary ionic conducting glass system xAgI–(1 – x)[0.67Ag2O–0.33B2O3],
where x = 0.4 , 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8, were studied for emphasizing the influence of silver iodide concentration
on the transport properties in the based borate glasses. The glasses were prepared by melt
quenching technique and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectra and differential thermal
analysis (DTA). XRD confirmed a glassy nature for all investigated compositions. Electrical conductivity
(r), dielectric constan t (e0), dielectric loss (e00) and impedance spectra (Z0–Z00) were studied for all
samples at a frequency range of 0–106 Hz and over a temperature range of 303–413 K. Changes of conductivity
and dielectric properties with composition, temperature and frequency were analyzed and discussed.
A silver iodine battery using glassy electrolyte sample with the highest ionic conductivity (x = 0.6)
was studied.
