Activation of Solid and Molten Electrolytes and their Relaxation

Abstract:

On exposure of high-voltage microsecond pulsed fields, the molten and solid electrolytes are transited into a prolonged non-equilibrium state with increased electrical conductivity and disappeared characteristic peaks in Raman spectra. During the multistep relaxation of non-equilibrium electrolytes the initial conductivity and Raman spectra are restored to the values and patterns characteristic for equilibrium system.
