Electrochemical characterization of thin films of ionically and mixed conducting glasses
Abstract In this paper, thin films of mixed conducting glasses from the V 2 O 5 -B 2 O 3 system to be used as electrodes in microbatteries were first investigated. Ionically conducting glasses were then studied for use in multilayer sensing systems (microsensors). Na 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses were chosen as the Na + sensitive membrane while the NaI-Ag 2 O-B 2 O 3 -P 2 O 5 glasses were used as ionic bridges placed in between the sensitive thin film and the collector and were corresponding to a “pseudo internal reference”.
