Changes of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity of ceramic superconductors of nominal composition YBa2Cu3O7-y and Bi1.4Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3.6Ox observed during their soaking in water are reported. It was found that the YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductor is destroyed in few minutes by boiling water. At lower temperatures the hydrolysis reduces the volume of the superconductive phase, as seen from the susceptibility measurements. Reaction of Bi1.4Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3.6Ox with water causes a decrease of the relative volume of both superconducting phases at a rate substantially higher for the high temperature one (Tc = 110 K).

Fluorine substitution in the Bi(2223), Bi(2212) and Tl(1223) superconducting phases was studied. We obtained superconducting structures, never observed before, of the Bi-based superconductors by a low temperature (200-400 °C) fluorination process. Fluorine substitutes completely the oxygen sites in the Bi layers and additional F atoms are inserted in the structure. As a consequence, changes in the arrangements of cation and anions were induced, especially in the Bi and partially in the Sr layer. F-doped Tl(1223) has been prepared in the same way as Bi(2223) and Bi(2212) (low temperature fluorination), but also starting from precursor containing fluorides of different elements. No significant differences in the crystal structure have been observed between the Tl-based samples with F inclusions and without. The critical temperature (116 K) remains unchanged but a significant increase of the irreversibility field at low temperature was found.

Bi 2 Sr 2 CuO 6 – CaCuO 2 system is studied in a wide range of compositions by electrical resistivity and X-ray diffraction measurements. The T c = 80 K phase can be observed in all compositions except the Ca free Bi 2 Sr 2 CuO 6, while the T c = 110 K phase is characteristic to the high CaCuO 2 concentration range, with maximum intensity at the nominal composition of Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Ca 5 Cu 6 O 16. The distribution of 20 K, 80 K and 110 K T c phases is estimated from powder X-ray measurements.
