This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying a low-temperature, high-entropy rechargeable
magnesium battery electrolyte. The
electrolyte comprises a
magnesium salt, a low-melting-point
solvent, and a strongly coordinating
solvent, wherein the quantities of the
magnesium salt, the low-melting-point
solvent, and the strongly coordinating solvent are X, Y, and Z, respectively, where X+Y+Z≥5, X≥1, Y≥0, and Z≥1; and the mole fractions of the
magnesium salt, the low-melting-point solvent, and the strongly coordinating solvent are Xi, Yi, and Zi, respectively, where Xi≥5%, and must satisfy the quantitative description formula for configuration entropy: S config Let S be the configuration entropy, R be the universal
gas constant, and S be the configuration entropy. config With an entropy ≥1.5R, this
electrolyte exhibits high entropy. The
electrolyte provided by this invention demonstrates good electrochemical performance and stability at low temperatures, and its preparation process is simple.
