This invention discloses a method for in-situ growth of an SEI film on the surface of a
magnesium anode in a rechargeable
magnesium battery, comprising the following steps: 1) dissolving and mixing
tin salt and
antimony salt, then adding an electrolytic
solvent and stirring until homogeneous to obtain an
electrolyte; 2) using
magnesium metal as the
anode, assembling a rechargeable
magnesium battery with the
electrolyte prepared in step 1), wherein during storage and charging / discharging, the
electrolyte generates an in-situ SnSb-based SEI film on the magnesium
metal surface. This invention utilizes an electrolyte containing
tin and
antimony, which undergoes a reduction-oxidation reaction with magnesium
metal to grow an artificial SnSb-based SEI film on the magnesium
anode surface. Simultaneously, Sb and Sn exhibit good magnesium affinity, enhancing the Mg²⁺-coated interface between the electrolyte and the
electrode. 2+ The SEI film can alleviate the direct contact between magnesium metal and electrolyte, reduce the
nucleation potential and
dissolution barrier of magnesium deposition, inhibit the growth of magnesium dendrites, and improve the overall performance of the battery.
