This work covers several topics ranging from crystalline ionic conductors, glasses and polymeric materials to proton conductors. Characterization techniques such as NMR and XPS and synthesis techniques such as sol-gel are emphasized. Some coverage of superconductors is also included. There is also a section on applications with a presentation of results based on the fabrication of fuel cells, solid state batteries, sensors and electrochromic displays.
