biostudies-literatureUnknown8(23)Peng SIt is a great challenge to obtain high performance carbon fluoride (CF x ) cathodes with high specific capacity and good rate performance due to the electronic conductivity of CF x being known to decrease with an increase in the specific capacity. Herein, we propose a novel fluorinated graphene (FG)/sulfur hybrid cathode to enhance both the energy density and power density of lithium/carbon fluoride (Li/CF x ) batteries. Impressive enhancements of the specific capacity, discharge voltage, and rate capability are demonstrated with the novel FG/sulfur hybrid cathode. In comparison with the pristine FG cathode, the hybrid cathode exhibits higher electrochemical activity, lower overpotential, and faster ion transfer over the main discharge RSC advances12701-12707https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9079695biostudies-literatureFluorinated graphene/sulfur hybrid cathode for high energy and high power density lithium primary batteries.PMC9079695Wang NDai SWang CQi XPeng SYan SNan WChen XWang JfalseFluorinated graphene/sulfur hybrid cathode for high energy and high power density lithium primary batteries.It is a great challenge to obtain high performance carbon fluoride (CF x ) cathodes with high specific capacity and good rate performance due to the electronic conductivity of CF x being known to decrease with an increase in the specific capacity.
