This interaction constitutes a high-energy barrier to the movement of cations(chap 2. 6. 3). However, there are factors other than geometry and size that have important effects

Ag 4 I 5 structure is such as to offer apertures approaching this diameter for the Ag+ ions v Ionically conducting ceramic oxides are not as conductive as iodides and sulphides with their larger anions. v However, the oxygen conductor-zironia and the sodium-conductor and β’and β”-alumina are sufficiently conductive, particularly at elevated temperature to have been adopted for a number of applications. v In particular they can form the electrolytes in electrolytic cells which can be used both to measure the concentration of specific elements and as a means of storing electrical power.
