Abstract: The use of bromine tr i f luoride and bromine pentafluoride with lithium and other active metal anodes offers the possibility of new battery systems that have high cell voltages and energy densities (Table I). These compounds are very reactive substances that act as suppliers of fluorine in liquid form. Bromine trifluoride is a particularly suitable interhalogen solvent for battery applications because of its convenient liquid range (m.p. 8.8 ~ b.p. 125.8 ~ and rela-t ively high specific conductance (0.008 ohm- 1 c m "1) (1). The high conductivity of BrF 3 is attributed to its self-ionization reaction 2 BrF3 c"~' ~ BrF2+ + BrF4 " (K = 0.8) [1] that yields equilibrium concentrations of nearly
