What two ions would give me the greatest possible cell potential for a voltaic cell?

I am trying to find two ions, one with extremely positive cell potential and one with extremely negative cell potential, that would give me the greatest overall cell potential. So far, I have found that a Lithium anode and a Florine cathode would work wonderfully, but I want to know if there is an even better combination. If you can help, I would appreciate it.What two ions would give me the greatest possible cell potential for a voltaic cell?
I checked one of my chemistry textbooks, and they also suggest that the highest cell potentials exist between that of the lithium cathode and the lithium anode, forming a cell potential of 5.906 V.
