Boron Clusters as Highly Stable Magnesium-Battery Electrolytes**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Boron clusters are proposed as a new concept for the design of magnesium-battery electrolytes that are magnesium-battery-compatible, highly stable, and noncorrosive. A novel carborane-based electrolyte incorporating an unprecedented magnesium-centered complex anion is reported and shown to perform well as a magnesium-battery electrolyte. This finding opens a new approach towards the design of electrolytes whose likelihood of meeting the challenging design targets for magnesium-battery electrolytes is very high.

One of the main challenges of electrical energy storage (EES) is the development of environmentally friendly battery systems with high safety and high energy density. Rechargeable Mg batteries have been long considered as one highly promising system due to the use of low cost and dendrite-free magnesium metal. The bottleneck for traditional Mg batteries is to achieve high energy density since t...

An interesting feature of elemental boron and boron compounds is the occurrence of highly symmetric icosahedral clusters. The rich chemistry of boron is also dominated by three-dimensional cage structures. Despite its proximity to carbon in the periodic table, elemental boron clusters have been scarcely studied experimentally and their structures and chemical bonding have not been fully elucida...
متن کاملGraphene-analogues Boron Nitride nanosheets with ultrahigh ionic liquid uptake capacity as quasi-solid electrolytes
Inorganic nanoparticles are typically used as electrode materials in lithium batteries. However, to cope with the most challenge that solid electrolytes have low ionic conductivity at room or lower temperatures, here we show graphene-analogues boron nitride (g-BN) nanosheets absorbing a large quantity of ILs as a solid-like electrolyte. The layered g-BN nanosheets have very high specific surfac...
متن کاملThe effect of B4C addition to MnO2 in a cathode material for battery applications
Boron carbide (B4C) added manganese dioxide (MnO2) used as a cathode material for a Zn–MnO2 battery using aqueous lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as the electrolyte is known to have higher discharge capacity but with a lower average discharge voltage than pure MnO2 (additive free). The performance is reversed when using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the electrolyte. Herein, the MnO2 was mixed with 0, 5...
