The family of Ag + and Cu + superionic conductors have been extensively studied for many decades, using a wide range of experimental and computational techniques see also Chapter 7. They are principally of interest for fundamental reasons, as model systems in which to characterize the nature ofthe dynamic disorder and to probe the factors which promote high values of ionic conductivity within the solid state. Their commercial applications are generally limited by factors such as chemical stability, the high cost of silver, and their relatively high mass when compared, for example, to lithium-based compounds.
