Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An anode for a fluoride ion electrochemical cell is provided and includes a layered material of hard carbon, nitrogen doped graphite, boron doped graphite, TiS 2 , MoS 2 , TiSe 2 , MoSe 2 , VS 2 , VSe 2 , electrides of alkali earth metal nitrides, electrides of metal carbides, or combinations thereof. The anode may be included in a fluoride ion electrochemical cell, which additionally includes a cathode and a fluoride ion electrolyte arranged between the cathode and the anode. At least one of the cathode and the anode reversibly exchange the fluoride ions with the electrolyte during charging or discharging of the electrochemical cell.

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrochemical cell comprising: a cathode including a fluoride ion host material, an anode including a layered material selected from the group consisting of hard carbon, nitrogen doped graphite, boron doped graphite, TiS 2 , MoS 2 , TiSe 2 , MoSe 2 , VS 2 , VSe 2 , electrides of alkali earth metal nitrides selected from the group consisting of Mg 2 N, Ca 2 N, Sr 2 N, and combinations thereof, electrides of metal carbides selected from the group consisting of Y 2 C, lanthanide carbides, and combinations thereof, and combinations thereof, and a fluoride ion electrolyte arranged between the cathode and the anode, wherein at least one of the cathode and the anode reversibly exchange fluoride ions with the electrolyte during charging or discharging of the electrochemical cell. 2. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte is free of intentionally added lithium and free of intentionally added lithium ions. 3. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode includes a transition metal fluoride. 4. The electrochemical cell according to claim 3 , wherein the transition metal fluoride is copper (II) fluoride. 5. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoride ions intercalate with the layered material of the anode during discharging of the electrochemical cell. 6. The electrochemical cell according to claim 5 , wherein the fluoride ions are released from the anode during charging of the electrochemical cell. 7. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein cations present in the electrolyte intercalate with the layered material of the anode and the fluoride ions are accommodated by the cathode during charging of the electrochemical cell. 8. The electrochemical cell according to claim 7 , wherein the cations are released from the anode and the fluoride ions are released from the cathode during discharging of the electrochemical cell. 9. The electrochemical cell according to claim 7 , wherein the cations include (2,2-dimethylpropyl)trimethylammonium cations. 10. A method of using the electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , comprising charging the electrochemical cell and discharging the electrochemical cell. 11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein fluoride ions in the electrolyte intercalate with the layered material of the anode during discharging of the electrochemical cell, and are released from the anode during charging of the electrochemical cell. 12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein: cations in the electrolyte intercalate with the layered material of the anode and fluoride ions in the electrolyte are accommodated by the cathode during charging of the electrochemical cell, and the cations are released from the anode and the fluoride ions are released from the cathode during discharging of the electrochemical cell.
