Abstract
The structure and electrochemistry of FeF 3 :C-based carbon metal fluoride nanocomposites (CMFNCs) was investigated in detail from 4.5 to 1.5 V, revealing a reversible metal fluoride conversion process. These are the first reported examples of a high-capacity reversible conversion process for positive electrodes. A reversible specific capacity of approximately 600 mAh/g of CMFNCs was realized at 70°C. Approximately one-third of the capacity evolved in a reaction between 3.5 and 2.8 V related to the cathodic reduction reaction of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ . The remainder of the specific capacity occurred in a two-phase conversion reaction at 2 V resulting in the formation of a finer Fe:LiF nanocomposite. Upon oxidation, selective area electron diffraction characterization revealed the reformation of a metal fluoride. Evidence presented suggested that the metal fluoride is related to FeF 2 in structure. A pseudocapacitive reaction is proposed as a possible mechanism for the subsequent Fe 2+ → Fe 3+ oxidation reaction. Preliminary results of FeF 2 , NiF 2 , and CoF 2 CMFNCs were used in the discussion of the electrochemical properties of the reconverted metal fluoride.
