Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes based on closo-decaborates have caught increasing interest owing to the impressive room-temperature ionic conductivity, remarkable thermal/chemical stability, and excellent deformability. In order to develop new solid-state ion conductors, we investigated the influence of iodine substitution on the thermal, structural, and ionic conduction properties of closo-decaborates. A series of iodinated closo-decaborates, M2[B10H10-nIn] (M = Li, Na; n = 1, 2, 10), were synthesized and characterized by thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; the stability and ionic conductivity of these compounds were studied. It was found that with the increase of iodine substitution on the closo-decaborate anion cage, the thermal decomposition temperature increases. All M2[B10H10-nIn] exhibit an amorphous structure. The ionic conductivity of Li2[B10H10-nIn] is higher than that of the Li2[B10H10] parent compound. An ionic conductivity of 2.96 × 10-2 S cm-1 with an activation energy of 0.23 eV was observed for Li2[B10I10] at 300 °C, implying that iodine substitution can improve the ionic conductivity. However, the ionic conductivity of Na2[B10H10-nIn] is lower than that of Na2[B10H10] and increases with the increase of iodine substitution, which could be associated with the increase of the electrostatic potential, mass, and volume of the iodinated anions. Moreover, Li2[B10I10] offers a Li-ion transference number of 0.999, an electrochemical stability window of 3.3 V and good compatibility with the Li anode, demonstrating its potential for application in high-temperature batteries.

Abstract
The ever-rising demands for energy dense electrochemical storage systems have been driving interests in beyond Li-ion batteries such as those based on lithium and magnesium metals. These high energy density batteries suffer from several challenges, several of which stem from the flammability/volatility of the electrolytes and/or instability of the electrolytes with either the negative, positive electrode or both. Recently, hydride-based electrolytes have been paving the way towards overcoming these issues. Namely, highly performing solid-state electrolytes have been reported and several key challenges in multivalent batteries were overcome. In this review, the classes of hydride-based electrolytes reported for energy dense batteries are discussed. Future perspectives are presented to guide research directions in this field.

Abstract
We report the thermodynamic stabilities and the intrinsic strengths of three-center-two-electron B-B-B and B-Hb -B bonds ( H b : bridging hydrogen), and two-center-two-electron B-Ht bonds ( H t : terminal hydrogen) which can be served as a new, effective tool to determine the decisive role of the intermediates of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions of borohydride. The calculated heats of formation were obtained with the G4 composite method and the intrinsic strengths of B-B-B, B-Hb -B, and B-Ht bonds were derived from local stretching force constants obtained at the B3LYP-D2/cc-pVTZ level of theory for 21 boron-hydrogen compounds, including 19 intermediates. The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) was used to deepen the inside into the nature of B-B-B, B-Hb -B, and B-Ht bonds. We found that all of the experimentally identified intermediates hindering the reversibility of the decomposition reactions are thermodynamically stable and possess strong B-B-B, B-Hb -B, and B-Ht bonds. This proves that thermodynamic data and intrinsic B-B-B, B-Hb -B, and B-Ht bond strengths form a new, effective tool to characterize new (potential) intermediates and to predict their role for the reversibility of the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions.
