FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER-BASED SOLID-STATE PRIMARY BATTERIES

Solid-state primary batteries are fabricated using the highest conduct ing composition of AgI-Ag2O-(SeO2 + V2O5) (SSV) quarternary glassy com pound with different cathode materials such as I:C, (I+C):SE, and [(IC) + SE]:TAAI=9:1 (I: iodide; C: graphite; SE: solid electrolyte; TAAI : tetraalkyl ammonium iodide, and A: methyl, ethyl and butyl). Various sets of batteries are fabricated with the following configuration: an ode/glassy solid electrolyte/cathode. The performance of the batteries made up of SSV glass is evaluated in terms of the measured open-circu it voltage, polarization and discharge characteristics.
