Kumar and H. Iwahara, Solid electrolytes

Once considered rare among sohds, fast ionic conduction has been found characteristic of hundreds of compounds. R.V Kumar and H. Iwahara discuss the science and application of these rare-earth superionic conductors as solid electrolytes. Conduction by oxygen and fluorine anions as well as hydrogen and other cations associated with these electrolytes are emphasized. They deal with extrinsic and intrinsic types together with their associated structures and structural types including structural defects. They conclude by outlining the many phcations of these solid electrolytes.
