High-capacity metal oxide conversion anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are primarily limited by their poor reversibility and cycling stability. In this study, a promising approach has been developed to improve the electrochemical performance of a MoO₂ anode by direct fluorination of the prelithiated MoO₂. The fluorinated anode contains a mixture of crystalline MoO₂ and amorphous molybdenum oxyfluoride phases, as determined from a suite of characterization methods including X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical measurements indicate that fluorination facilitates the conversion reaction kinetics, which leads to increased capacity, higher coulombic efficiency, and better cycling stability as compared to the nonfluorinated samples. Overall, these results suggest that fluorination after prelithiation not only favors formation of the oxyfluoride phase but also improves the lithium-ion diffusivity and reversibility of the conversion reaction, making it an attractive approach to address the problems of conversion electrodes. These findings provide a new route to design high-capacity negative electrodes for LIBs.
