Application

LiF can be used in thermoluminescent; perovskite light-emitting diodes; rechargeable batteries and MXenes applications. Lithium fluoride crystals are transparent to ultraviolet (UV) light and are used in UV optics. Lithium fluoride is used in the main route of fabrication of Mxenes by exfoliating MAX phases.

Lithium is the most attractive anode material for high-energy density rechargeable batteries, but its cycling is plagued by morphological irreversibility and dendrite growth that arise in part from its heterogeneous "native" solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Enriching the SEI with lithium

Flexible, lightweight, robust, and multifunctional characteristics are greatly desirable for next-generation wearable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. In this work, an alternating multilayered structure with robust polymer frame layers and directly contacted conducting layers was designed to prepare high-performance EMI

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are attracting great attention due to their efficient and narrow emission. Quasi-two-dimensional perovskites with Ruddlesden-Popper-type layered structures can enlarge exciton binding energy and confine charge carriers and are considered good candidate materials for efficient LEDs. However

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are receiving great interest because their high mechanical strength and transference number could potentially suppress Li dendrites and their high electrochemical stability allows the use of high-voltage cathodes, which enhances the energy density and safety of batteries.
