Most electrolytes currently used in Li-ion batteries contain halogens, which are toxic. 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. —Giri et al.

The cell of a flow battery uses two chemical solutions containing ions, one acting as the anolyte (adjacent to the anode), the other as the catholyte (near the cathode). Typical redox flow batteries use ions based on iron chromium or vanadium chemistries; the latter takes advantage of vanadium’s four distinct ionic states.

Some other Battery news are, New developments and experiments in battery chemistries like lithium-air and magnesium-ion are going on. The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. This trend is catching on in all the countries around the world.
