Thermal activation of charge carriers in ionic and electronic semiconductor β-Ag^IV^VO₃ and β-Ag^IV^VO₃@V^V_1.6V^IV_0.4O_4.8 composite xerogels

Abstract

Assembly of SVO and slightly reduced VO nanoribbons in inorganic hydrogels enables the formation of proton conductor and electron conductor xerogels depending on the SVO/VO ratio. Thermal charge carrier activation results in enhanced conductivity.
