  • High energy density boride batteries
    Patent number: 6468694
    Abstract: Borides generally can produce a cell with a high energy density. High power densities are also achievable using borides that are reasonably good conductors of electricity. High density is important to achieve high energy density. Another important factor is lower molecular weight per available electron. The borides generally provide a favorable balance of these factors compared to a number of other materials, such as lithium or zinc. Individual borides have other important characteristics. Titanium diboride is safe. The inclusion of a halide, particularly fluoride, in the anodic storage medium signficantly improvers performance.
