Study of electronic effect of Grignard reagents on their electrochemical behavior

The electrochemical behavior of three electrolyte solutions containing Grignard reagents (RMgBr) with different organic groups were investigated with regard to the potential application in rechargeable magnesium battery. It is found that the electrochemical reversibility of magnesium deposition and dissolution processes and the anodic stability of the Grignard electrolyte can be significantly improved by replacing alkyl group with more stable 4-Fluorophenyl group. In addition, the ionic conductivity of the Grignard electrolyte solution is enhanced by 1.5 times by such a replacement. The test results indicate that 4-Fluorophenyl-MgBr/THF solution could be promising for use in rechargeable magnesium battery systems.     

An Efficient Halogen‐Free Electrolyte for Use in Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries

Unlocking the full potential of rechargeable magnesium batteries has been partially hindered by the reliance on chloride‐based complex systems. Despite the high anodic stability of these electrolytes, they are corrosive toward metallic battery components, which reduce their practical electrochemical window. Following on our new design concept involving boron cluster anions, monocarborane CB₁₁H₁₂^? produced the first halogen‐free, simple‐type Mg salt that is compatible with Mg metal and displays an oxidative stability surpassing that of ether solvents. Owing to its inertness and non‐corrosive nature, the Mg(CB₁₁H₁₂)₂/tetraglyme (MMC/G4) electrolyte system permits standardized methods of high‐voltage cathode testing that uses a typical coin cell. This achievement is a turning point in the research and development of Mg electrolytes that has deep implications on realizing practical rechargeable Mg batteries.     

The electrodeposition of magnesium using solutions of organomagnesium halides,amidomagnesium halides and magnesium organoborates

The electrochemical behaviour of three groups of electrolyte systems having the ability of electrochemical magnesium deposition, were investigated against the background of galvanotechnical or battery application. Solutions of organomagnesium halides, amidomagnesium halides and magnesium organoborates dissolved in tetrahydrofuran were characterized in terms of conductivity, reversibility of the magnesium deposition process and stability of the electrolytes versus irreversible oxidation. Furthermore the open circuit potential of a magnesium electrode in contact with these electrolytes was measured versus a Ag/Ag⁺ reference electrode. A high reoxidation efficiency was found for magnesium electrodeposited from solutions of organomagnesium halides and amidomagnesium halides. The solutions of magnesium organoborates were superior in terms of electrical conductivity and oxidation stability, the process of magnesium electrodeposition and reoxidation, however turned out to be poor.

Optimization of cation structure of imidazolium-based ionic liquids as ionic solvents for rechargeable magnesium batteries

A series of imidazolium cation-based ionic liquids (ILs) have been synthesized and examined as ionic solvents for rechargeable magnesium batteries. The electrolyte solutions consist of these ILs dissolving methylmagnesium bromide with tetrahydrofuran (MeMgBr/THF). The chemical structure of imidazolium cation much influenced the ionic conductivity and the electrochemical window of the system. A reversible process of cathodic deposition and anodic dissolution of magnesium has been successfully achieved at room temperature. The highest value of anodic peak current for magnesium dissolution was obtained in an optimized-structure IL with allyl and methoxyethyl groups as the substituents.     

Magnesocene‐Based Electrolytes: A New Class of Electrolytes for Magnesium Batteries

Unlike ferrocene, bis(η⁵‐cyclopentadienyl)magnesium (magnesocene, MgCp₂) is slightly dissociated in solvents, such as ethers, resulting in electrolyte solutions with low conductivity. MgCp₂/tetrahydrofuran solutions make possible reversible magnesium plating and stripping with low over‐potentials for many cycles. The Mg deposits appear with a cauliflower‐like morphology. IR and NMR spectroscopy confirm that the electrolyte is stable and not decomposed during prolonged cycling. The anodic stability limit is in the range of 1.5 V (at platinum) and 1.8 V versus Mg/Mg²⁺ (at stainless steel), which may be sufficient for low‐voltage cathode materials. MgCp₂ is a first example of a completely new class of halide‐free electrolytes, which may open up a new research direction for future magnesium metal and magnesium‐ion batteries.
