Fluorine, particularly in the form of sodium fluoride, is incorporated in many toothpastes to protect teeth against decay. The compound may also be the key to pushing non-lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists have developed a fluorine-containing electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries whose charging performance remains high in frigid regions and seasons. They also determined why it is so ...

The recipe they've ended up with helps ensure optimal positioning of the fluorine atoms within each solvent molecule to help cradle the lithium ions and shuttle them back and forth between the ...

USA-based Underwriters Laboratories Solutions (UL) is a globally trusted leading authority in safety certification <li /> After passing a ...

"The key difference in our new electrolyte is the substitution of fluorine for hydrogen atoms in the ring-like structure of the cation part of the ionic liquid," Zhang said.

Lithium-ion batteries are notoriously inflexible, but a new study created one using hydrogels that can survive a surprising amount of punishment. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, the ...

A recent study in Small demonstrates how dual-salt electrolytes with low fluorine content enhance the performance, safety, and cycle life of sodium-ion batteries using layered oxide cathodes ...

ACCORDING to Workman and Drost-Hansen 1, a substantial amount of fluorine ions is incorporated into ice if it is crystallized from diluted solutions of cæsium fluoride. We have studied this ...

Scientists developed a new and safer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries that works as well in sub-zero conditions as it does at room temperature.
