Solid state batteries using pure and doped sodium yttrium fluoride as the solid electrolytes were fabricated at ambient temperature. The discharge characteristics of the cells for a load of 1 M Omega were studied. The cell with NaYF4:Dy as the solid electrolyte exhibited a larger plateau region compared with the other cells. Open circuit voltage and short circuit current of the cells range from 2.5 to 2.7 V and 7 mu A to 435 mu A respectively. The performances of the cells under varying loads for a constant voltage of 1.5 V were also investigated. Various cell parameters were evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
