Abstract

The development of rechargeable Ca-ion batteries as an alternative to Li systems has been limited by the availability of suitable electrolyte salts. We present the synthesis of complexes of Ca(PF₆)₂ (a key potential Ca battery electrolyte salt) via the treatment of Ca metal with NOPF₆, and explore their conversion to species containing PO₂F₂⁻ under the reaction conditions.
