  • Fluoride ion battery electrolyte compositions
    Patent number: 10355311
    Abstract: A fluoride ion battery includes a substantially lithium-free anode and cathode. At least one of the anode or cathode contains fluorine, and a substantially lithium-free liquid electrolyte is used for charge transport. The electrolyte is liquid at temperatures below about 200 degrees Celsius, and can be formed from an organic-soluble fluoride salt dissolved in selected classes of solvents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2019
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Cedric M. Weiss, Simon Christopher Jones, Arunkumar Tiruvannamalai, Isabelle Darolles, Maksudul M. Alam, Sohrab Hossain

  • Fluoride ion battery compositions
    Patent number: 9166249
    Abstract: A lithium-free, anion based charge transport electrochemical system that uses fluoride ion transporting electrolytes, including ionic liquids, with and without various additives to improve performance, is described. The fluoride ion transporting electrolyte can be wholly or partly an ionic liquid that is typically liquid at temperatures less than 200 degrees Celsius. In other embodiments, electrolytes that remain liquid at less than 100 degrees Celsius are useful.

  • Polymer materials as binder for a CFx cathode
    Publication number: 20110183204
    Abstract: Lithium anode based battery systems can use polymeric binding materials to act as particulate binders for fluorinated carbon based electrodes. The binders mechanically hold electrochemically active particles together, while inhibiting lithium fluoride crystallization that generates unwanted heat release in a discharging battery. Polymeric binders that include positively-charged groups, negatively-charged groups, electron deficient ?-anion receptor groups, or boronate-based fluoride receptor group can be used alone or in combination.
