Abstract:
Prussian blue type compounds (heavy metal ferro and ferricyanides)
doped with alkali metal chlorides are found to exhibit alkali-metal ion
conducti vity. An unusual property of these systems is that the highest
conductivity is obtained for K+. Ferric ferricyanide doped with KCI under
optimum conditions is found to have a room temperature (26°C) conductivity
of 5xlO'! ohm cm'
