In order to overcome these problems, hybridization of both materials (C and Si) in one electrode material by HTC seemed to be a promising option [75]. For this purpose, pre-formed silicon nanoparticles were dispersed into a dilute solution of glucose followed by hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C. The carbon-coated particles were then further treated at 750 °C in order to improve the conductivity and structural order of the carbon layer. It was shown that the hydrothermal treatment, following by high temperature carbonization, resulted in formation of a few nanometer thin layer of SiOx layer on the Si nanoparticles, effectively leading to a Si/SiOx/C nanocomposite. Some TEM micrographs of these materials are shown in Fig. 7.8. 

Of all the fluorite-structured halides, P-PbF2 has attracted the most attention, since it has the lowest superionic transition temperature (Tc = 711 K). The ionic conductivity and structural properties of a number of compounds based on PbF2 have been studied, with the ternary compound PbSnF4 possessing one of the highest values of ionic conductivity of any F ion conductor at ambient temperature (<7, = 10 S cm- [76]).

Demonstration of the creation of multilayer line structures in the seal will result in the collection of physical measurement data on the change in seal features during heat up, steady state operation, transients, or on cool down. A radar type image of the signal characteristics will show build up or relaxation of stresses, discontinuities in seal structure including porosity, delamination of the seal from either the cell or interconnect, and ultimately the catastrophic failure of the seal. Additionally with the ability to use a metal interconnect as one of the plane references coupled with a trace on the oxide coating on the interconnect, electrical conductivity and structural integrity of the thin oxide film on the metal interconnect can be determined within the vicinity of the trace. 

It seems that the pristine nanotube results are somewhat controversial. The alignment effect is observed with the pristine nanotubes, however, it shouldn t be observed. We are collecting more samples, such as purified nanotubes, Ni-coated nanotubes, strong-acid-treated nanotubes, which will be tested at NASA Ames Research Center. It is expected that with more samples, we will better understand the relationship between conductivity and structure.

This attempt to give a coherent classification of PSC is incomplete because the effects of phase changes with increasing temperature are not specifically analysed, although conductivity and structural changes can be interpreted simultaneously in terms of the effects of thermal motion. 

Doped polypyrrole demonstrates behavior similar to polyanUine for samples with lower conductivity and structural order. In Fig. 46.27, the more disordered PPy(TsO) (ctdc 120 S/cm) [74,198] shows a more localized behavior than PPy(PF6) as si remains positive throughout the optical frequency range. The carriers are weakly localized though as Si increases rapidly in the far IR. For PPy(S-PHE) (ctdc 10 S/cm) [46,192], there is very little dispersion in Si it remains positive and small in the entire optical range, becoming nearly wavelength independent in the far IR. 

W/o microemulsions of water, aniline, light petroleum, and nonionic surfactant Empilan NP-5 have been utilized for electrochemical polymerization of aniline to polyaniline [48]. Improved homogeneity and conductivity was achieved compared with polyaniline grovm in water. The heterogeneous nature of the microemulsion directed the mode of polymer growth and improved conductivity and structural features.

To separate the y-alumina without destroying the polypyrrole, screening experiments were performed to discover the optimum level of exposure to sodium hydroxide leachant. From the Anotec literature it is evident that y-alumina dissolves readily in NaOH, but it is also known that conductivities and structure of polypyrrole are affected by exposure to bases. 

Electrical Conductivity and Structure One of the characteristic properties of metals is good electrical conductivity. The delocalized valence electrons are easily moved by an electrical field and are responsible for carrying the electric current. By contrast, most covalent and ionic solids are nonconductors, because the electrons are localized to particular atoms or bonds. Ionic substances do become conducting in the liquid state, however, because the ions can move. In an ionic Uquid, it is the ions that carry the electric current. 

Nanoparticle size and concentration also affect the phase separation through miscibility and viscosity changes, leading to different blend morphology and properties, such as electrical conductivity and structural integrity [36-38].
