A fluorine battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses fluorine as the active material in its cathode. It is also known as a "fluoride-ion battery" or "fluoride-ion cell."
Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use lithium ions to store and release energy, fluorine batteries use fluoride ions. This allows for higher energy density and faster charging times.
Toyota claims that their fluorine battery technology has the potential to greatly increase the range and performance of electric vehicles, as well as reduce charging times. This could have a major impact on the future of transportation and energy storage.
Toyota has conducted extensive research and development on fluorine battery technology and has published several studies demonstrating its potential. They have also built prototype electric vehicles using fluorine batteries and have successfully tested them on the road.
At this time, Toyota has not announced a specific timeline for when their fluorine batteries will be available for commercial use. They are continuing to research and develop the technology and have not yet announced any plans for mass production or release to the public.
