Tailoring structural and electrical properties of lithium borate glasses through silver incorporation for advanced functional materials
摘要
This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of lithium borate glasses with silver doping. The study delves into various experimental methods, containing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and direct current (DC) conductivity analysis. The XRD analysis provides insights into the nature of the samples, offering valuable information on their structural properties. The FTIR studies contribute to understanding the network structural groups and interstitial positions within the glasses. Additionally, the DC conductivity studies reveal a noteworthy correlation between the concentration of silver oxide (Ag2O) doping and the conductivity of the samples. It is observed that as the doping concentration of silver oxide increases, the DC conductivity of the samples also increases, resulting in a decrease in activation energy. This comprehensive exploration of structural and electrical properties contributes to a deeper understanding of the influence of silver doping in lithium borate glasses.
