If interlayer cations of micas can move in the interlayer, the micas show ionic conductivity.However, K-type fluorophlogopite (KMg 3 AlSi 3 O 10 F 2 ) which is the representative synthetic mica and the main crystal of mica ceramics is known as an electrical insulator. If interlayer cations of micas are smaller than K + ion which is the interlayer cation of K-type fluorophlogopite and a larger amount of cation is stuffed in the interlayer, the micas have a higher possibility as ionic conductors. As one of such micas, highly charged sodium fluorophlogopite mica (Na 4 Mg 6 Al 4 Si 4 O 20 F 4 ·xH 2 O) which is called "Na-4-mica" is nominated. But there are no studies on its ionic conductivity. In this study, Na-4-mica could be synthesized by new and simple method which consisted of mixing of MgO, Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 and NaF, calcination, sieving, compaction and firing in a sealed platinum container. The conductivity of the obtained Na-4-mica increased with an increase in temperature and reached 4.3×10 -4 S/cm at 650ºC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
