Entropy and Isokinetic Temperature in Fast Ion Transport.

ABSTRACT: Ion transport in crystalline solids is an essential process for many electrochemical energy converters such as solid-state batteries and fuel cells. Empirical data have shown that ion transport in crystal lattices obeys the Meyer-Neldel Rule (MNR). For similar, closely related materials, when the material properties are changed by doping or by strain, the measured ionic conductivities showing different activation energies intersect on the Arrhenius plot, at an isokinetic temperature. Therefore, the isokinetic temperature is a critical parameter for improving the ionic conductivity. However, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental mechanism of MNR in ion transport is lacking. Here the physical significance and applicability of MNR is discussed, that is, of activation entropy-enthal
