Fabrication and characterization of silver-based solid-state primary batteries

Solid-state primary batteries are fabricated using the highest conducting composition of AgI---Ag2O-(SeO2 + V2O5) (SSV) quarternary glassy compound with different cathode materials such as I:C, (I + C): SE, and image (I: iodide; C: graphite; SE: solid electrolyte; image: tetraalkyl ammonium iodide, and image: methyl, ethyl and butyl). Various sets of batteries are fabricated with the following configuration: anode/glassy solid electrolyte/cathode. The performance of the batteries made up of SSV glass is evaluated in terms of the measured open-circuit voltage, polarization and discharge characteristics.
