Conductor conductivity

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) working at around 70 °C with a polymer membrane electrolyte, such as Nafion, which is a solid proton conductor (conducting by the H + cation). 

Red hexagonal crystals or free-flowing fine red powder density 1.27 g/cm melts at 813°C an excellent solid ionic conductor conductivity dxlCL mho/cm at 227°C decomposes in water. 

Analogous cells for a cationic mixed conductor (conductivity via electrons and cations, e.g., Ag2S) can be formulated (AglAgI instead of 02, Ptl YSZ Ag or an Ag-alloy instead of 02, Pt). In this case sealing is not necessary however, the component activity cannot be tuned so simply. 

AIB2 may be conveniently prepared by reaction of aluminum with H3BO3, KBF4, or B2O3/KCI mixtures at temperatures between 800 and 1300 °C. AIB2 is a metallic conductor (conductivity of 333 2 m ) that slowly reacts with water and aqueous hydrochloric acid. The structure consists of hexagonal nets of boron atoms with each boron atom surrounded by six aluminum atoms at the comers of trigonal prisms.

Semiconductors (metalloids). In a semiconductor, a small energy gap exists between the valence and conduction bands. Thermally excited electrons can cross the gap, allowing a small current to flow in contrast to a conductor, conductivity increases when a semiconductor is heated. 

However, conductor loss depends on the resistance (surface resistance) of the conductor. As the frequency increases, there is a tendency for the current to concentrate in the surface parts of the conductor. The part where the current flows is known as skin depth (the depth where current density falls to 1/e = 0.37 of its value at the surface), and it decreases in inverse proportion to the square root of the frequency. Surface resistance Rs is determined by skin depth d and conductor conductivity o as in the formula below. It is inversely proportional to the square root of conductor conductivity, and increases proportional to the square root of the frequency. 

Orthorhombic and tetragonal PbO are mixed conductors conducting oxygen via charged oxygen interstitials. For orthorhombic PbO, is aborrt 2 x 1(T S/cm at 500°C, while O5.1 is slightly larger. Both electron and hole conductivities are observed.
