Abstract

An impedance technique is presented using microelectrodes to quantitatively investigate bulk and grain boundary properties of polycrystals with highly conductive grain boundaries. The connections between the experimentally available resistance data and the local grain boundary properties are achieved by finite element simulations. Experiments on polycrystalline AgCl are presented which demonstrate the applicability of the method and permit the determination of the ionic conductivity enhancement at the grain boundaries. Under the assumption that an enhanced Ag vacancy concentration in the space charge layer is the origin of the increased conductivity, the space charge potential is determined to be 300 mV.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
