RESUMEN

In pursuit of high-performance aluminum-ion batteries, the selection of a suitable positive electrode material assumes paramount importance, and fluorinated graphene (FG) nanostructures have emerged as an exceptional candidate. In the scope of this study, a flexible tantalum foil is coated with FG to serve as the positive electrode for aluminum-ion batteries. FG positive electrode demonstrates a remarkable discharge capacity of 109 mA h g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1, underscoring its tremendous potential for energy storage applications. Concurrently, the FG positive electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of 101 mA h g-1 while maintaining an impressive coulombic efficiency of 95 % over 300 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1, which benefiting from the significant structure of FG. The results of the in-situ Raman spectroscopy signified the presence of intercalation/de-intercalation processes of AlCl4 - behavior within the FG layers.
