Electrochemically-driven interphase conditioning of magnesium electrode for magnesium sulfur batteries

摘要

cqvip:The earth-abundant magnesium metal is a kind of promising anode material due to its low reduction potential (-2.356V vs. SHE), high volumetric and gravimetric specific capacities of 3882 mAh cm-3 and 2234 mAh g_1 respectively [1]. Moreover, the magnesium anode shows high safety due to the non-dentritic electrodeposition mechanism during cycling, which is related to the strong Mg-Mg bonding and the consequent high energy barrier between the crystal boundaries of different crystal orientation [2].
