GRAPHITE OXYFLUORIDE - BEHAVIOR AS ELECTRODE MATERIAL IN LITHIUM BATTERIES

On the basis of the recent preparation method of graphite oxyfluorides , discharge characteristic studies of these compounds as cathode mater ials in lithium-battery systems, using liquid or solid electrolytes, a re reported. Their performances are compared with those of original gr aphite oxide and graphite fluoride compounds. Good electrochemical beh aviour is exhibited by graphite oxyfluoride which depends on the O/F r atio, and on the origin of the starting material for its preparation.
