Solid ionic conductors are of particular interest both for basic studies of the ionic transport parameters in solid and for several practical applications like electrochemical sensor, electrochemical display devices, timers, coulometer and miniature energy storage devices employed in cardiac pacemakers, electronic calculators and many other micro-electronic appliances. Although liquid electrolytes such as fused salts have been used in electrochemical cells, their application in advanced batteries has been limited due to their chemical reactivity with electrodes and other cell components. The vast interest in solid electrolyte in recent years, is mainly because of their potential application in technological devices, as solid electrolytes, glasses shows many advantage over crystalline solids. Li2O: B2O3 (40: 60) composition has been reported to give the maximum conductivity, with a view to enhance this conductivity, addition of different mole of SiO2 has been done in different mole% in composition of Li2O: B2O3 system.
