    The microstructural evolution of CuPb 2 F 6 , a cathode material for fluoride‐ion batteries, during defluorination was investigated using phase‐field simulation coupled with a CALPHAD‐based thermodynamic database. By employing a nonstoichiometric face‐centered‐cubic interstitial solid solution (FCC‐int) description, the simulations capture the nucleation and growth of Cu nanoparticles and reproduce the experimentally observed ∼ 100 nm grain size by tuning the effective nucleation density. A strong correlation among discharge rate, nucleation density, and fluorine diffusion coefficient is revealed, demonstrating that faster discharge rates and higher nucleation densities lead to finer Cu nanoparticles. These trends are consistent with electrochemical measurements conducted at different current densities, indicating that Cu grain size is governed by the concentration gradient within the FCC‐int matrix, which controls nucleation frequency and early‐stage growth. This work elucidates the defluorination mechanism of CuPb 2 F 6 and provides a predictive framework for controlling microstructure evolution, offering design guidelines for next‐generation fluoride‐ion batteries.

    Uniform molybdenum (Mo) films were successfully deposited on nickel plates and foam substrates through electrochemical reduction in LiF-KF-KCl-K2MoO4-K2B4O7 melt at 900 °C. For Ni plates, uniform Mo film was achieved via pulse current electrolysis at an average/peak current density of 10/200 mA cm−2, under an electric charge of 72 C cm−2. As the applied charge increased, pulse reverse current electrolysis became essential to maintain the uniformity of the Mo film. For the Ni foam substrate, a series of comparisons of electrolysis parameters revealed that the use of pulse reverse electrolysis and an increase in the ratio of anodic dissolution in the electrolysis design help to increase the uniformity of the Mo film. This process required a careful balance of anodic dissolution in each cycle, ensuring even deposition under conditions of high electric charge density.
