An object of the present invention is to provide a fluoride ion battery in which excess voltage at the time of charging is decreased. The present invention achieves the object by providing a fluoride ion battery comprising a cathode active material layer containing a cathode active material, an anode active material layer containing an anode active material, and an electrolyte layer formed between the cathode active material layer and the anode active material layer; wherein the anode active material is an alloy containing at least a Ce element and a Pb element.

A method of joining a first metal and a second metal is described. The first metal comprises Pb in an amount of at least 50 wt. % by weight of the first metal. The method comprises fusing the first metal and the second metal using non-consumable electrode arc welding.

A lead-free solder alloy contains zinc (Zn) as the main component and aluminum (Al) as an alloying metal. The solder alloy is a eutectic having a single melting point in the range of 320 to 390 C. (measured by DSC at a heating rate of 5 C. min-1).

A lead-based alloy containing alloying additions of bismuth, antimony, arsenic, and tin is used for the production of doped leady oxides, lead-acid battery active materials, lead-acid battery electrodes, and lead-acid batteries.

Undercooled liquid metallic core-shell particles, whose core is stable against solidification at ambient conditions, i.e. under near ambient temperature and pressure conditions, are used to join or repair metallic non-particulate components. The undercooled-shell particles in the form of nano-size or micro-size particles comprise an undercooled stable liquid metallic core encapsulated inside an outer shell, which can comprise an oxide or other stabilizer shell typically formed in-situ on the undercooled liquid metallic core. The shell is ruptured to release the liquid phase core material to join or repair a component(s).
