The invention belongs to the technical field of
electrochemical energy storage batteries, and particularly relates to a
chlorine-free simple
magnesium salt
electrolyte for a
magnesium-
sulfur battery as well as a preparation method and application of the
chlorine-free simple
magnesium salt
electrolyte. The
electrolyte comprises
magnesium salt,
ionic liquid, an organic
ether solvent, an
amine solvent and an organic
phosphide additive. The
solvation structure is regulated and controlled through the synergistic effect of multiple components, the compatibility of the electrolyte with the
sulfur positive
electrode and the magnesium negative
electrode is improved, and the electrochemical performance of the magnesium-
sulfur battery is improved. Specifically, the
amine solvent is used as a strong polar
solvent to improve the
solubility of the magnesium
polysulfide, so that the
diffusion and
redox conversion
kinetics of the magnesium
polysulfide are promoted, and the organic
phosphide is used as an additive to effectively improve the
specific discharge capacity and
voltage platform of the magnesium-sulfur battery. Meanwhile, due to the addition of the
ionic liquid, the stability of a magnesium negative
electrode / electrolyte interface is improved, the transmission capacity of Mg < 2 + > is enhanced, and the
overpotential of magnesium deposition /
dissolution is reduced. In addition, the electrolyte does not contain
chloride ions, so that the
corrosion problem caused by the
chloride ions is avoided.
