New Magnesium-ion Conductive Electrolyte Solution Based on Triglyme for Reversible Magnesium Metal Deposition and Dissolution at Ambient Temperature

New electrolyte solutions for rechargeable magnesium metal batteries were studied. The electrolyte solution composed of triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (triglyme) and butyl methyl triglyme as solvents and magnesium(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide as a magnesium salt. The reversible deposition and dissolution of magnesium metal was achieved in these electrolyte solutions at ambient temperature. The electrochemical stability of triglyme-based electrolyte solutions showed high stability toward oxidation.
