During the last decade, numerous studies have been devoted to replace oxides by materials with a polyanion-based framework that are considered as safe alternatives for the traditional oxide electrodes [1] [8,9] have all been considered as thermally stable. All these materials usually exhibit excellent stability on longterm cycling by comparison to lithium metal oxides and essentially no release of oxygen from the lattice or reactivity with the electrolyte. However, the materials were found to be poor electronic conductors [3].The search of new cathode materials aiming to maintain a good mix of properties, with focus on electrochemical and safety parameters, has resulted in the improvement of the electrochemical performance using two strategies: (1) substitution of fluorine for oxygen or (2) fluorine coating of the active particles. As a result, fluorinated compounds display several advantages such as high voltage redox reactions, stabilization of the host lattice, protection the electrode particle surface from HF attack and electrolyte decomposition that impedes a side reaction, and easy transport of mobile Li + ions [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Accordingly, anion substitution is expected as an effective way to enhance the electrochemical performance of spinel and layered compounds, especially for NMC materials [16] due to the strong electronegativity of the F À anion, which will make the structure more stable. Among the metal fluorides as surface fluorination (coating) [20]. While these materials are treated in the first and third chapters, attention hereunder is focussed on technological developments of fluorophosphates and fluorosulfates [21][22][23]. The present chapter gives the state of the art in the understanding of the properties of these F-containing materials. Owing to the progress in
