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. —Puru Jena. 201408648.
