The processes occurring at the interface between single-crystal fluoride-conducting solid electrolyte CeF3: Sr2+ and metallic microelectrodes of Bi, Sn, Sb, and Ag are studied by the method of cyclic voltammetry with use of traditional silver-silver chloride electrode or solid-phase reference electrode Sn, SnF2. Responses of solid-phase reactions involving mobile fluoride ions of the solid electrolyte and the microelectrode material are obtained. It is suggested that signals relating to the reduction of fluorinated metals be used for local qualitative assay of metal traces contained in quantities of about a few nanograms on the surface of conducting solids in air.
