Fluorination of "brick and mortar" soft-templated graphitic ordered mesoporous carbons for high power lithium-ion battery

Ordered mesoporous carbon-graphitic carbon composites prepared by the "brick and mortar" method were fluorinated using F₂ and investigated as cathodes for primary lithium batteries. The resulting materials have a rich array of C-F species, as measured by XPS, which influence conduction and voltage profiles.
