Abstract
Water absorption in lead peroxide betha-PbO2 and Bystroem-Evers compound Ag2[Ag3Pb2O6] has been investigated by infrared spectrometry and electric conductance measurements. Hydrated Ag5Pb2O6 exhibits, between room temperature and 690 K, electric conductivity, at least, order of magnitude higher than pure silver.
