The mineral fluorspar, CaF 2, plays a unique role in the chemical industry as the only raw material source for fluorine. That's a significant distinction given the importance of fluoropolymers and the ...

Scientists have developed a new fluorine-free calcium (Ca) electrolyte based on a hydrogen (monocarborane) cluster that could potentially realize rechargeable Ca batteries. Scientists from Tohoku ...
