Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a fluorinated cation electrolyte that could enable high-voltage lithium metal batteries. An open-access report on their work is published in Nature Communications. Fluorides have been identified as a key ingredient in interphases supporting aggressive battery chemistries. While the precursor for these fluorides must be pre-stored in electrolyte components and only delivered at extreme potentials, the chemical source of fluorine so far has
