Classically closo-carborane anions, particularly [HCB11H11]− and [HCB9H9]−, and their
derivatives have primarily been used as weakly coordinating anions to isolate reactive …

Ion transport in crystalline fast ionic conductors is a complex physical phenomenon. Certain
ionic species (eg, Ag+, Cu+, Li+, F–, O2–, H+) in a solid crystalline framework can move as …

Both LiCB9H10 and NaCB9H10 exhibit liquid-like cationic conductivities (≥ 0.03 S cm–1) in
their disordered hexagonal phases near or at room temperature. Furthermore, these …

Li2B12H12, Na2B12H12, and their closo-borate relatives exhibit unusually high ionic
conductivity, making them attractive as a new class of candidate electrolytes in solid-state Li …

Solid lithium and sodium closo-polyborate-based salts are capable of superionic
conductivities surpassing even liquid electrolytes, but often only at above-ambient …

Metal borohydrides are a family of materials that were recently discovered to have
extraordinary ionic conductivities, making them promising candidates as electrolytes for …

Na-based hydroborates, such as NaCB 9 H 10, Na 2 B 10 H 10, NaCB 11 H 12, and Na 2 B
12 H 12, are known for their high ionic conductivity above a phase transition, usually far from …

The novel compound Na 2-x (CB 11 H 12) x (B 12 H 12) 1-x shows a fast ionic Na
conductivity of 2 mS cm− 1 at room temperature, reaching the superionic regime above 333 …

By a variety of techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, quasielastic neutron scattering,
and AC impedance, we have probed the effect of mechanical milling on the phase behaviors …

Sodium as the closest analogue of lithium in periodic table is attracting intense interest as a
potential replacement, in the hope that Na+ offers similar intercalation chemistries in …
