An in-depth study based on first-principles calculations by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University has shown that the anions of commercially available electrolytes for Li-ion batteries are all superhalogens. Most electrolytes currently used in Li-ion batteries contain halogens, which are toxic.

This includes research on appropriate anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes for magnesium (Mg)-, sodium (Na)-, and lithium (Li)-based batteries and novel transition metal oxide- and nitride-based supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium is another element that is less expensive than lithium. Earlier post.) Novel cathodes and anodes.

Researchers from the US and Sweden have shown that carbon nanostructures (fullerenes, nanotubes, and graphene) can be used as catalysts for hydrogen uptake and release in complex metal hydrides such as sodium alanate (NaAlH 4 ) and also developed what they characterize as an “ unambiguous understanding ” of how such catalysts work.
