ABSTRACTThrough the use of nanostructures and nanocomposites, the electrochemical activity of metal fluoride materials was opened as potential candidates as next generation high energy density positive electrodes for Li batteries. This class of materials, utilizing FeF3 as an example, is shown to exhibit good reversible behavior of approximately 200 mAh/g in the 3V region. The specific capacity is extended to 600 mAh/g when the discharge is extended to take into account the additional specific capacity associated with a 2V plateau. Through the use of XRD, SAED and high resolution TEM, the 2V reaction mechanism was associated to a reversible metal fluoride conversion mechanism. It is shown that LiF + Fe nanocomposite can be utilized as initial components in order to make the technology suitable for Li-ion applications. Although exhibiting relatively poor rate capabilities at this initial stage, reversible conversion metal fluorides enable for the first time the utilization of all the redox states of the constituent metal in a reversible manner in the positive electrode. This translates to 4X the specific capacity and double the energy density of today's state of the art LiCoO2.

Lithium metal is strongly regarded as a promising electrode material in next-generation rechargeable batteries due to its extremely high theoretical specific capacity and lowest reduction potential. However, the safety issue and short lifespan induced by uncontrolled dendrite growth have hindered the practical applications of lithium metal anodes. Hence, we propose a flexible anion-immobilized ceramic–polymer composite electrolyte to inhibit lithium dendrites and construct safe batteries. Anions in the composite electrolyte are tethered by a polymer matrix and ceramic fillers, inducing a uniform distribution of space charges and lithium ions that contributes to a dendrite-free lithium deposition. The dissociation of anions and lithium ions also helps to reduce the polymer crystallinity, rendering stable and fast transportation of lithium ions. Ceramic fillers in the electrolyte extend the electrochemically stable window to as wide as 5.5 V and provide a barrier to short circuiting for realizing safe batteries at elevated temperature. The anion-immobilized electrolyte can be applied in all–solid-state batteries and exhibits a small polarization of 15 mV. Cooperated with LiFePO4 and LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathodes, the all–solid-state lithium metal batteries render excellent specific capacities of above 150 mAh⋅g−1 and well withstand mechanical bending. These results reveal a promising opportunity for safe and flexible next-generation lithium metal batteries.
