An interdisciplinary team of researchers of HIU published a review of fluoride ion batteries, which are electrochemical cells in which a negative anion—fluoride—enables charge transport. The scientists Fabienne Gschwind, Gonzalo Rodriguez-Garcia, Dan Sandbeck, Axel Gross, Marcel Weil, Maximilian Fichtner and Nicolas Hörmann report, for the first time, an extensive theoretical screening of FIBs as well as an analysis of the safety and toxicity of electrochemical couples of such batteries. So far only a handful of publications exist on the topic of fluoride ion batteries. The article also review the research progress made in recent years in the areas of high-temperature and room-temperature fluoride ion batteries. Room-temperature fluoride ion batteries consisting of seven different cathode and nine different anode materials are screened at the end to further illustrate the potential and issues of such battery systems.
