Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) based batteries have the potential to store large amounts of electricity, without some of the safety or materials availability issues of current lithium-ion based systems. Leveraging the synthetic expertise of the Agapie group and the battery expertise of the See group, we will synthesize, characterize, and measure new noncorrosive anions as supporting electrolytes in Mg and Ca batteries to enable the development of full cells.
