Fluoride ion battery energy storage

All-solid-state fluoride ion batteries (ASSFIBs), which operate through anion shuttling without alkali metal anodes, represent an emerging energy storage technology offering cost-effectiveness, enhanced safety, and high energy density. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have garnered significant attention for large-scale energy storage due to the natural abundance and low cost of sodium resources [1, 2].However, cathodes with limited capacity and poor stability remain a bottleneck for commercialization.

Are fluoride-ion batteries the future of electrochemical energy storage?

Fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) have recently emerged as a candidate for the next generation of electrochemical energy storage technologies. On paper, FIBs have the potential to match or even surpass lithium-metal chemistries in terms of energy density, while further eliminating the dependence on strained resources, such as lithium and cobalt.

What is a fluoride ion battery?

Fluoride ion batteries (FIBs) exhibit theoretical volumetric energy densities, which are higher than any of the lithium or post‑lithium ion technology under consideration and they have recently stepped into the limelight of materials research as an ideal option to realise the concept of high energy density batteries at low cost.

Can fluoride-ion batteries replace libs?

Learn more. Due to the limitations of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), there is an urgent need to explore alternative energy storage technologies. However, the high-energy density of fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) has attracted widespread attention as a potential successor to LIBs.

Do fluoride ion batteries provide volumetric energy density?

With suitable electrode and electrolyte combinations, Fluoride Ion Batteries (FIBs) can theoretically provide volumetric energy density more than eight times the energy density of current LIBs.

Can fluoride-ion batteries be commercialized?

Among the available candidates, fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) are a promising technology because of their high theoretical energy density and utilization of abundant and widespread materials. However, FIBs present several new challenges that have prevented them from reaching commercialization.

How does a fluoride-ion battery maintain charge neutrality?

Batteries release energy as electrons move from a material with a high Fermi level (anode) to one with a low Fermi level (cathode). In a fluoride-ion battery, charge neutrality is maintained by the concurrent removal of fluoride ions from the cathode material and insertion of fluoride ions in the anode material ( Figure 2 ).
