The invention discloses a preparation method of a
boron-based
magnesium salt and
alcohol /
phenol magnesium additive composite
magnesium salt
electrolyte, and relates to the technical field of
magnesium ion batteries, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, in an
inert atmosphere or an air environment, dissolving / dispersing a magnesium source in an
organic solvent, and stirring to obtain a solution a; s2, adding
alcohol or
phenol into the solution a, and reacting to obtain a solution b; s3, performing post-treatment on the solution b to obtain
alcohol magnesium salt or
phenol magnesium salt crystals; and S4, co-dissolving alcohol
magnesium salt or phenol magnesium salt and
fluorine-containing alkoxy
magnesium borate in an
ether solvent according to a
molar ratio of 1: (3-100) to form the composite magnesium salt
electrolyte. According to the
magnesium battery using the
electrolyte, the cycle life can be prolonged by 20%-100%, the actual service cycle of the battery is prolonged, the coulombic efficiency is improved to 97%-99.5%, irreversible
capacity loss in the charging and discharging process is reduced, the energy utilization efficiency is improved, the oxidation potential is improved by 0.2-0.5 V compared with that of a traditional electrolyte, the stability and
oxidation resistance of the electrolyte are enhanced, and the service life of the
magnesium battery is prolonged. And the working
voltage window of the battery is widened.
