This study presents a facile and scalable synthesis of phase-pure and highly crystalline orthorhombic BiF3 via thermal decomposition of bismuth(III) trifluoroacetate at 300 °C under inert atmosphere. Electrochemical measurements in carbonate and ionic liquid-based electrolytes demonstrated improved cyclic stability with ionic liquids. BiF3 in 4.3 M LiFSI-Pyr1,4TFSI showed a high initial capacity of 208 mA g−1 and retained ~50% capacity over 80 cycles at 30 mA g−1.
