Transition metal (Fe, Co, Ni) fluoride-based materials for electrochemical energy storage

The improvement of advanced battery performance has always been a key issue in energy research. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the applications of excellent materials in advanced batteries. Transition-metal (Fe, Co, Ni) fluoride-based materials exhibit excellent chemical tailorability due to their different functional groups, and they have attracted wide research interest for use in next-generation electrochemical energy storage. This review introduces methods to synthesize transition metal (Fe, Co, Ni) fluoride materials and their applications in batteries and supercapacitors. We also present the current challenges and future opportunities of iron fluoride in electrochemistry, including processing techniques, composite properties, and prospective applications. It is believed that in the future, the research and influence of iron fluoride and its composites will be more far-reaching and lasting.
