Abstract:
Iron fluoride (FeF 3 and FeF 2 ) is a potential candidate for the next generation of lithium-ion battery (LIBs) cathode materials due to their high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, previous studies have reported that the poor conductivity of FeF 3 and FeF 2 prevents their theoretical specific capacity from being effectively realized. Herein, fluorinated graphene loaded FeF x (FeF x @FG) submicron sphere was synthesized using graphene oxide and utilized as cathode materials for LIBs. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the synthesized FeF x (x = 2 and 3) contains mixed FeF 3 and FeF 2 crystals. The mixed crystal structure enables the FeF x @FG submicron sphere composite to display two steps in the electrochemical reaction when FeF 3 and FeF 2 discharge cooperatively, leading to excellent discharge performance. In addition, since the FG prepared by acid thermal method has good conductivity, it can significantly improve the FeF x conductivity and specific capacity when being connected to FG via C -F bond. The electrochemical tests show that the initial discharge capacity of FeF x @FG is as high as 394.24 mAh/g at the rate of 0.2C in the range of 1.5 - 4.0 V at 25 degrees C and display an excellent discharge capacity retention rate after the first discharge process, showing great potential of the mixed crystalline iron fluoride cathode in the field of lithium-ion batteries.
