| Abstract Scope |
Fluorine has important roles in lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). However, fluorine can be persistent and hard to extract. Recent studies show that residual fluorine could remain in recovered battery material. The effect of this residual fluorine on the performance of new batteries is unknown. Currently, there is no data on the allowable amount of fluorine in the material. Using different concentrations of fluorine within the battery allows for the basis of the upper limit in these recycled batteries. However, there is limited research into these contaminants. Understanding the effect of fluorine in lithium-ion batteries is necessary for improving recycled material quality and consistent battery performance. This study will report the effect on performance of batteries containing various amounts of fluorine.
