                    Lithium–Carbon Monofluoride Batteries


                    The world’s first Li–(CF) n battery was developed by Matsushita Battery Industrial
                    Co., and several types are being manufactured.
                      (CF) n is prepared by the reaction of carbon powder with fluorine gas at an elevated
                    temperature. The properties of (CF) n are similar to those of polytetrafluoroethylene
                    (PTFE) which is prepared by organic synthesis.
                      The discharge reaction of (CF) n is generally considered to be as follows:

                                Anode reaction: nLi → nLi + ne −               (2.13)
