Abstract: In the Khovanov homology of links, presence of $mathbb{Z}_2$-torsion is a very common phenomenon. Finite number of examples of knots with $mathbb{Z}_n$-torsion for $n>2$ were also known, none for $n>8$. In this paper, we prove that there are infinite families of links whose Khovanov homology contains $mathbb{Z}_n$-torsion for $2<n<9$ and $mathbb{Z}_{2^s}$-torsion for $s<24$. We also introduce $4$-braid links with $mathbb{Z}_3$-torsion which are counterexamples to the PS braid conjecture. We also provide an infinite family of knots with $mathbb{Z}_5$-torsion in reduced Khovanov homology and $mathbb{Z}_3$-torsion in odd Khovanov homology.
