Abstract
Beyond hydrogen storage: The first example of reversible magnesium deposition/stripping onto/from an inorganic salt was seen for a magnesium borohydride electrolyte. High coulombic efficiency of up to 94 % was achieved in dimethoxyethane solvent. This Mg(BH(4))(2) electrolyte was utilized in a rechargeable magnesium battery.
Highlights
Magnesium batteries have received increased attention as alternatives to the lithium-based battery because of the high volumetric capacity (3832 mA h cmÀ3), improved safety, and abundance of Mg metal.[5]
The discovery of halide-free electrolytes with high reductive stabilities is crucial for realizing a practical rechargeable Mg battery system
We show the first example of electrochemical reversible Mg deposition/stripping in a halide-free inorganic salt in both tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethoxyethane (DME) solvents
Summary
Magnesium batteries have received increased attention as alternatives to the lithium-based battery because of the high volumetric capacity (3832 mA h cmÀ3), improved safety (nondendritic), and abundance of Mg metal.[5]. We show the first example of electrochemical reversible Mg deposition/stripping in a halide-free inorganic salt in both tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethoxyethane (DME) solvents.
