#2HN, do your thing, tell us why it's not going to work.

#3I'm thinking the battery explosions will be more spectacular too.

#5I wonder what the effect is in specific energy. Weight is at least as much of a concern as volume for a lot of mobile applications.

In the parlance of this space, energy density usually means specific energy. "Volumetric energy density" is the term normally used if research is highlighting a material that achieves high energy-per-liter storage from its high specific gravity.

#7> A conventional graphite cathode, in a process known as intercalation, can only transfer a single electron. But compounds like iron trifluoride can transfer multiple electrons.
Flourine is difficult to work with, so these batteries may cost more. Hopefully the energy density offsets the cost.

This is not nastiness like pure fluorine or hydrofluoric acid, but a salt. It may be somewhat toxic, but it does not require extraordinary handling precautions.

#10How's that even possible ?
