Scalable Synthesis of Tavorite LiFeSO₄F and NaFeSO₄F Cathode Materials

Abstract

Single-phase tavorite, LiFeSO4F, is crystallized in tetraethylene glycol at 220 °C to give an electrochemically highly active material. This route obviates the need for expensive ionic liquids and can be extended to the synthesis of NaFeSO4F, whose structure solution, along with that of the parent framework FeSO4F, provides understanding of ion mobility.
