Abstract

​

Oxy-haloborate glasses constitute a distinct category of borate-based materials that incorporate halide ions into the borate network alongside oxygen. This review outlines the structural, thermal, and optical characteristics of these glasses, emphasizing how the inclusion of halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine alters the glass matrix. The interaction between halide and oxide constituents leads to unique modifications in glass properties, including enhanced ionic conductivity, modified refractive indices, and improved radiation sensitivity. The paper summarizes various synthesis routes, compositional dependencies, and the influence of different modifiers and dopants. Additionally, it explores potential applications in photonics, solid-state batteries, and luminescent devices. Current trends, research challenges, and prospects for further material optimization are also discussed, aiming to provide a cohesive understanding of the development and potential of oxy-haloborate glasses..

 

Key words:

Oxide glasses, Oxy-haloborate glasses, Non-Bridging oxygen, halogen, BO3 and BO4 groups
