BiOo. 09F2. s2 and~-PbF2: AgF are suitable fluoride conducting electrolytes for application in galvanic cells. A simple fabrication method for the cell Pb/~-PbF2: AgF/BiO0. ogF2. s2/Bi is described. Open-circuit voltages are in accord with a theoretical value of 0.33 V based on the cell reaction 3Pb+ 2BiF~--> 3PbF2 Jr 2Bi. Cells were discharged in the temperature region 29, 8~ 176 with current densities of 12-63 mA/m 2. Short-circuit currents range from 15.7 to 386 mA/m 2. Relatively constant load-circuit voltages were attained over periods of days.The electrical properties of fluoride conductors with fluorite or tysonite structure have received considerable interest in the recent literature (1-8). Some of these materials are presently used as solid electrolytes. PbF2 has been applied successfully as a solid electrolyte in a thin film galvanic cell (5). Thin film galvanic cells Pb/PbF2/CuF2 (PbF2)/Cu have been fabricated by vacuum evaporation (5). CuF2 is, however, a highly resistive material at room temperature. In order to improve the conductivity CuF2 was codeposited with PbF2. This in turn leads to an open-circuit voltage (OCV) lower than the theoretical OCV of 0.70 V. Both CuF2, and especially AgF are reactive toward moisture in air. Special precautions are, therefore, needed to avoid blistering of thin films (5). Kennedy and Miles (6) have tested potassium fluoride-doped~-PbF2 as an electrolyte in galvanic cells with CuF2 or AgF as cathode materials. Open-circuit voltages of 0.70 and 1.30 V, respectively, were achieved, but the cell potentials fell rapidly when placed under load and current drawn. This poor performance could be due to the formation of an anode passivation layer consisting of low conductivity pure a-PbF2 (6). Recently, we have reported on solid electrolyte properties of tysonite-related BiOzF3-2x (x: 0.09,~ 0.1)(9). The conductivity is ionic and exceeds at ambient temperatures the conductivity of undoped~-PbF2. When~-PbF2 is doped with monovalent cations the conductivity substantially increases. Mass transport then occurs via fluoride ion vacancies as in BiOzFs-2~ 9 BiOxF~-2x, as well as~-PbF2 doped with monovalent cations exhibit such conductivity values that extremely thin films are not required. Fabrication of galvanic cells by tedious vacuum evaporation techniques can therefore be avoided. Moreover, both fluorides are quite stable in air.
