Abstract Lithium/carbon fluoride (Li/CFx) batteries have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional theoretical energy density (2180 Wh kg−1) in the battery field. However, its inadequ...
Lithium carbon fluorides (Li/CF x) primary batteries are of highly interests due to their high specific energy and power densities. The shelf life is one of the major concerns when they are used as backup power, emergency power and storage power in landers, manned spacecraft or military applications.

The rechargeable battery with this dual-storage mechanism, as shown in Figure 1, is referred to as lithium-carbon-fluorine (Li-C-F) batteries. The cathode of the Li-C-F batteries in this report is made of CNTA papers ( Figure S1 in supplementary materials ); and hence, it is also denoted as Li-CNT-F batteries.
The lithium/ fluorinated carbon (Li/CF x) battery has attracted extensive research interest due to its highest theoretical energy density (2189 Wh kg −1) and has achieved certain commercial applications , . Despite having the highest theoretical energy density, Li/CF x batteries also face significant challenges.
It is the first time that the reversible fluorination/defluorination reactions were realized at pure carbon and non-fluoride materials. The rechargeable battery with this dual-storage mechanism, as shown in Figure 1, is referred to as lithium-carbon-fluorine (Li-C-F) batteries.
