New Ag+ conducting glasses with the formula, [PO2.5-2TlO0.5]1-x[AgIαTlI1-α]x, were studied. The structure consisted of a covalent (PO2.5-2TlO0.5) network and an iodide sub-lattice, (AgIαTlI1-α), with only weak interactions occurring between them. Use of the (AgI0.75TlI0.25) iodide eutectic mixture permitted the preparation of glasses with a high AgI content, and with an ionic conductivity at 25C which was of the order of 0.03S/cm for [PO2.5-2TlO0.5]0.14[AgI0.75TlI0.25]0.86 (tables 182 and 183).
