Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries are recognized as compelling candidates for advanced energy storage technologies, offering economic viability, exceptional safety, and remarkable volumetric energy density. Despite these merits, the deployment of magnesium batteries is hindered by limited insights into solvation dynamics and ion transport within electrolytes. Electrolytes incorporating chloride additives demonstrate efficacy in reducing the passivation layer and achieving higher cycling life. Nevertheless, their corrosive nature poses compatibility challenges with battery components, obstructing scalable commercial adoption. In response, contemporary efforts have shifted toward chlorine-free electrolytes to circumvent these constraints. This comprehensive review critically analyzes Mg-Cl coordination chemistry while advocating for innovative chlorine-free electrolytes. The discussion subsequently evaluates cutting-edge advancements in chlorine-free electrolytes, emphasizing innovative strategies in electrolyte composition (e.g., weakly coordinating anions, non-nucleophilic solvents) to enhance Mg²⁺ ion transport and interfacial compatibility. Concurrently, research advances related to the interface between chlorine-free electrolytes and anodes are presented. This work establishes actionable guidelines for the next generation of high-performance magnesium batteries.
