Characterization of the conduction properties of a solid electrolyte by short-circuiting a potentiometric galvanic cell

By short-circuiting a solid electrolyte galvanic cell, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte employed in the cell can be determined. There is no other potential involved in this technique with regard to the characterization of the conduction properties of the electrolyte. In particular, the method does not offer any information about the electronic conductivity.
