Abstract

Herein we have demonstrated an electrochemical method for the synthesis of carbon-metal fluoride nanocomposites (CMNFCs). Electrochemical intercalation of transition metal ions into graphite fluoride (CFx) resulted in the formation of CMNFCs. As a proof-of-concept, we have synthesized C-FeF2 and C-N...
