Rechargeable Batteries with High Energy Storage Activated by In-situ Induced Fluorination of Carbon Nanotube Cathode

چکیده
High performance rechargeable batteries are urgently demanded for future energy storage systems. Here, we adopted a lithium-carbon battery configuration. Instead of using carbon materials as the surface provider for lithium-ion adsorption and desorption, we realized induced fluorination of carbon nanotube array (CNTA) paper cathodes, with the source of fluoride ions from electrolytes, by an in-situ electrochemical induction process. The induced fluorination of CNTA papers activated the reversible fluorination/defluorination reactions and lithium-ion storage/release at the CNTA paper cathodes, resulting in a dual-storage mechanism. The rechargeable battery with this dual-storage mechanism demonstrated a maximum discharging capacity of 2174 mAh (gcarbon)(-1) and a specific energy of 4113 Wh kg(carbon)(-1) with good cycling performance.

Today's batteries are penalized by their poor cycleability (limited to few thousand cycles), shelf life, and inability to quickly recharge (limited to tens of minutes). Commercial ultracapacitors are energy storage systems that solve these problems by offering more than one million recharges with little capacitance degradation, recharge times on the order of few seconds, and unlimited shelf lif...
