The rigid ion sublattice of Advanced SuperIonic Conductors (AdSICs) has structure channels where mobile ions of opposite sign migrate. Their ion-transport characteristics display ionic conductivity of ~0.3/Ω cm (RbAg₄I₅, 300 K) and activation energy of E_i~0.1 eV. This determines the temperature-dependent concentration of mobile ions ni~Ni x e^Ei/kBT capable to migrate in conduction channels at each moment (Ni~10²²/cm³, ni~2x10²⁰/cm³, 300 K).

The Rubidium silver iodide–family is a group of AdSIC compounds and solid solutions that are isostructural with the RbAg₄I₅ alpha modification. Examples of such compounds with mobile Ag⁺- and Cu⁺-cations include KAg₄I₅, NH₄Ag₄I₅, K_1−xCs_xAg₄I₅, Rb_1−xCs_xAg₄I₅, CsAg₄Br_1−xI_2+x, CsAg₄ClBr₂I₂, CsAg₄Cl₃I₂, RbCu₄Cl₃I₂ and KCu₄I_5.{{Cite journal|last=Geller|first=S.|date=1967-07-21|title=Crystal Structure of the Solid Electrolyte, RbAg4I5|journal=Science|language=en|volume=157|issue=3786|pages=310–312|doi=10.1126/science.157.3786.310|issn=0036-8075|pmid=17734228|bibcode=1967Sci...157..310G|s2cid=44294829}}{{Cite journal|last=Geller|first=S.|date=1979-01-01|title=Crystal structure and conductivity of the solid electrolyte|journal=Physical Review B|volume=19|issue=10|pages=5396–5402|doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.19.5396}}{{Cite journal|last1=Hull|first1=S|last2=Keen|first2=D.A|last3=Sivia|first3=D.S|last4=Berastegui|first4=P|title=Crystal Structures and Ionic Conductivities of Ternary Derivatives of the Silver and Copper Monohalides|journal=Journal of Solid State Chemistry|language=en|volume=165|issue=2|pages=363–371|doi=10.1006/jssc.2002.9552|year=2002}}{{Cite journal|last1=Lichkova|first1=N.

Recently, all solid state micrometre-sized supercapacitors based on AdSICs (nanoionic supercapacitors) had been recognized as critical electron component of future sub-voltage and deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics and related technologies (22 nm technological node of CMOS and beyond).{{cite journal
