Reducing the risk of bacterial contamination of medical devices in the hospitals has thus become an emerging issue. Promising routes to control these infections are based on materials provided with intrinsic bactericidal properties (i.e., chemical action) and on the design of surface coatings able to limit bacteria adhesion and fouling phenomena (i.e., physical action), thus preventing bacterial biofilm formation.

Here, we used molecular dynamic simulation, density functional theory calculation, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis to investigate the solvation structures and SEI compositions in electrolytes consisting of dual-salts, magnesium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (MgTFSI<sub>2</sub>), and MgCl<sub>2</sub>, with different additives in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) solvent. We found that the formed [Mg<sub>3</sub>(μ-Cl)<sub>4</sub>(DME)<sub>m</sub>TFSI<sub>2</sub>] (<i>m</i> = 3, 5) inner-shell solvation clusters in MgTFSI<sub>2</sub>-MgCl<sub>2</sub>/DME electrolyte could easily decompose and form a MgO- and MgF<sub>2</sub>-rich SEI. Such electron-rich inorganic species in the SEI, especially MgF<sub>2</sub>, turned out to be detrimental for Mg plating/stripping. To reduce the MgF<sub>2</sub> and MgO contents in SEI, we introduce an electron-deficient tri(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) borate (TFEB) additive in the electrolyte. Mg//Mg cells using the MgTFSI<sub>2</sub>-MgCl<sub>2</sub>/DME-TFEB electrolyte could cycle stably for over 400 h with a small polarization voltage of ~150 mV. Even with the presence of 800 ppm H<sub>2</sub>O, the electrolyte with TFEB additive could still preserve its good electrochemical performance. The optimized electrolyte also enabled stable cycling and high-rate capability for Mg//Mo<sub>6</sub>S<sub>8</sub> and Mg//CuS full cells, showing great potential for future applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":11554,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Materials","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eem2.12792","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
