Superatoms. Группа авторов
to design negative ions carrying up to five extra electrons that are stable against fragmentation or auto‐ejection of the electron.
In Chapter 10, we will discuss how the superatoms can be used to promote unusual chemistry such as making noble gas atoms form chemical bonds at room temperature and accessing high oxidation states of metal atoms. The potential of cluster‐assembled materials in storing hydrogen, catalyzing reactions, serving as building blocks of super‐ and hyper‐salts, electrolytes in Li‐ and Na‐ion batteries, and moisture‐insensitive hybrid perovskite‐based solar cells is also discussed.
