Earlier publications on intercalation cathode materials for fluoride ion batteries have highlighted fluorination of the conductive carbon additive as a parasitic side reaction leading to rapid deterioration of the cell performance . Since the fluorination of materials such as La2(Ni/Co)O4 is happening at potentials very similar to carbon fluorination , the two materials fluorinate simultaneously. Since carbon monofluoride (CF)n, PTFE (CF2)n and other analogous highly fluorinated carbons are all electronically insulating, the fluorination of the carbon additive was assumed to cause rapid capacity fading observed by Nowroozi et. al. and Wissel et. al. , in agreement with observed changes in the carbon oxidation state from XPS studies.
