Patent ·
OSTI ID:5762028

A class of electrolytes for alkali-metal electro-chemical devices is featured, which contains at least one complex anion salt in an organic solvent. The complex anion salt has the general formula: ZMRXQY wherein Z is an alkali metal; wherein M is B, P, As, and Al; wherein R is selected from a group consisting of heteroatomcontaining groups bonded to the core element M through the heteroatom site, aryls, alkaryls, F, Cl, Br, fluorine substituted aryls, and fluorine substituted alkaryls; wherein Q is selected from a group consisting of ScN-, SeCN-, CN- and OCN-; and wherein X and Y are integers, the sum of X and Y is equal to one plus the valence of M, and further wherein X can be zero.
