1.3 Broad Classification of Solid Electrolytes:
The solid electrolytes are broadly classified based on the physical properties, microstructures and synthesis routes as mentioned below:
Framework crystalline / single crystalline/ polycrystalline solid electrolytes
Glassy / amorphous solid electrolytes
Polymer electrolytes
Composite solid electrolytes Further the Composite solid electrolytes can again be classified as
(i) Crystal-crystal composites
(ii) Crystal-glass composites
(iii) Glass-polymer composites and
(iv) Crystal-polymer composites [16]
These types of solid electrolytes can have either ordered or disordered phases. Framework crystalline materials are in ordered phase whereas the three remaining solid electrolytes are in disordered phase. The first three types of solid electrolytes are reviewed briefly while composite electrolytes are discussed extensively, as the present thesis mainly on these electrolytes.

Solid A was identified to be sodium chloride, solid B was identified to be sucrose, and Solid C was identified to be corn starch. Within the Information Chart – Mystery White Solid Lab there are results that distinguishes itself from the other 4 experimental results within each test. Such as: the high conductivity and high melting point of sodium chloride, and the iodine reaction of corn starch. Solid A is an ionic compound due to its high melting point and high electrical conductivity (7), within the Information Chart – Mystery White Solid Lab there is only one ionic compound which is sodium chloride, with the test results of Solid A, it can be concluded that is a sodium chloride. Solid B was identified as sucrose due to its low electrical
Dielectric study of solid polymer electrolytes is an important technique for understanding the various relaxation processes, which are associated with the ion motion. The frequency dependent dielectric constant at room temperature for the PEO with different wt% of KCl is shown in Figure 3.14(a). It is evident from the figure that the dielectric constants are significantly high in the low frequency region due to electrode polarization and space charge effects and it obeys the non-Debye type behaviour [53, 54].

In procedure A, one must know what an electrolytes is, which is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, in this case water is the solvent. Based on the results of the experiment it is can be concluded that the sodium chloride solution best conduct electricity. This is due part by ions being separated into Na+ and Cl- ions from the original NaCl. In other words NaCl(s) becomes Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq). In doing so allows electricity to flow in the solution. As for the pure/distilled water not conducting electricity it is because it is very filtered free of minerals. Essentially, distilled water lack ions to efficiently conduct electricity, this also applies to the pure substance of sodium chloride and sucrose which lack ions, atoms that have a net negative or positive charge. However, according the results the sucrose is slightly conductive, which may suggest a possible contamination in the solution. At the end it can be reasoned that because ions were made in the NaCl solution, ions contribute to the conductivity.

The solid having high electric (ionic) conductive are called solid electrolyte. In general the conductivity of the electrolyte lies in between 10-6 to 10-1 s/cm range.
Electrolyte is a scientific term meaning salt (ions). Electrolytes by definition are compounds that conduct an electric current when they are in an aqueous solution or in the molten state. All ionic compounds are electrolytes. The following elements are electrolytes in a persons body: sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), bicarbonate (HCO3-), phosphate (PO42-), and sulfate (SO42-). The most common of these elements that are typically found in drinks are sodium, potassium, and calciu...
Thin solid films were probably first obtained in 1838 by electrolysis. They were systematically prepared by Faraday in 1857.
In terms of polarity we discovered that magnesium oxide ,calcium carbonate and “ unknown 2” are polar enough to dissolve in water and not dissolve in hexane. Salicylic acid ,benzoic acid and “unknown 1” have similar polarities as both did not dissolve in water and hexane. As for pH, the salicylic and benzoic acid crystals were extremely acidic. Magnesium oxide was slightly acidic while calcium carbonate was slightly basic. In terms of the unknowns, both were neutral.
Electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity. Most need to be dissolved into water or another solvent. Battery¡¦s have an electrolyte in them, either as a liquid or as a paste. Liquid electrolytes are used in electrolysis, electroplating, and other chemical processes. When electrolytes dissolve they release positive and negative ions. The released ions carry electric charges between electrodes, in the solution. Cations (a positively charged ion that migrates to the cathode, a negative electrode) carry positive electric charges toward the cathode. Anions carry negative electric charges toward the anode, positive electrode. Strong electrolytes release many ions and conduct electricity well. Weak electrolytes, like acetic acid, don¡¦t release many ions and conduct poorly. Non electrolytes, like sugar, release no ions and form non conducting solutions. A couple electrolytes conduct electricity as solids. These solid electrolytes have ions that can move and carry charges without solvents. There are two ways to be able to have ions that are able to conduct electricity, the dissociation of Ionic Compounds, and the Ionization of Polar Covalent Molecular Substances. The Dissociation of Ionic Compounds is where particles are ionically (electrically) bonded together. They already made out of cations and anions, but in their solid state the ions are locked into position in their crystal structure, and can¡¦t move around. When the ionic compound is dissolved into water the water molecules, which are polar,(having a positive and a negative end) will be attracted to the positive ions. This attraction of different charges will create tension in the crystal and it will overcome the attice (the arrangement of molecules in a crystalline solid) energy keeping the crystal in place.
More crystal types can be listed, as are described under Classification schemes. These other forms are mostly variations and combinations of the above basic types, such as plates with dendritic extensions, capped columns, etc.
There are many kinds of batteries which consist of different materials in order to produce an electric charge. Here are some of the most common batteries, what they consist of and how they work.
Fluid is a major component of our body and serves a vital role in our health and in normal cellular functions by serving as a medium for metabolic reactions in the cell. Fluid also moves nutrients into the body by the digestive system and moves waste products out of the body by way of the kidneys. Extracellular and intracellular fluids contain solutes such as dissolved nutrients, waste products and charged particles called electrolytes. Fluid and electrolytes play a vital role in homeostasis, which is the ability of the body (or cell) to maintain a relatively constant internal environment when dealing with external changes. Homeostasis must exist for the cells to function properly and the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balances are necessary for homeostasis. To maintain homeostasis, ions move between the extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments through selectively permeable membranes by a variety of methods such as
Electrolytes are vital to your health and are extremely good for you when you are doing physical activities, but they are also needed when you are not doing any Physical activities because Electrolytes carry out many of your bodies functions that keep you alive and healthy.
Solids, liquids, and gases are the three main, or fundamental phases of matter. Each one has a different density and a different level of stability. What determines the stability of each phase is the bond between it's atoms. The tighter the bond between it's atoms the more stable that phase of matter is. Solids are the most stable form of matter, followed by liquids, and then gases.
