Problems solved by technology

FeF 3 Although it has ultra-high monolithic potential and ultra-high theoretical capacity, it also has many problems: first, the high ionicity of metal fluorides with large energy band gaps leads to electrical insulation behavior; ) are highly insulating, therefore, metal fluoride electrodes based on conversion reactions are often severely affected by adverse reaction kinetics; secondly, FeF 3 It is an insulator with a large energy band gap, and the method of grinding with a conductive agent to form a composite material basically does not significantly improve the conductivity of the material itself, so the transmission of electrons in the active material is almost impossible. In addition, it is well known that when a conductor When in contact with semiconductors, especially insulators, a phenomenon called Schottky contact is sometimes formed to hinder the movement of electrons. Therefore, if FeF 3 To be successfully applied to high-voltage and high-power thermal batteries, in addition to having excellent monolithic potential, it must also have excellent electrical conductivity

In the patent application CN107895795, a carbon-coated modified FeF 3 method to improve its conductivity to enhance its high power output capability, but the amorphous carbon layer significantly hinders the FeF 3 The degree of infiltration with the electrolyte, and obviously hinder its reaction with the negative electrode lithium or lithium alloy, will cause more serious voltage hysteresis, obviously hinder the power supply of the thermal battery, and cannot work normally
