Abstract:
In this work, the electrochemical behavior of potassium jarosite-type solid solutions synthesized via a controlled hydrothermal method was evaluated. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of potassium jarosite. FTIR spectra complemented these findings, revealing bands characteristic of Fe-O metal coordination (625 and 505 cm-1). Voltammetric tests evidenced redox processes attributable to the Fe3+/Fe2+ couple, suggesting that iron within the jarosite framework contributes electrochemically to the observed conductivity. The assembled galvanic cells demonstrated the capability for electrical energy microgeneration, and the presence of jarosite was found to enhance ionic transport within the system. Overall, these results suggest an intergranular ionic-conduction mechanism, possibly facilitated by the mineral matrix, which would act as a structural medium enabling the mobility of charged species.

Molecular and Ionic Solids
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
