Opportunities and Challenges in the Development of Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Mg Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen an intense and renewed interest in the Mg battery research, naming Mg-S the ≫Holy Grail≪ battery, and expectations that Mg battery system will be able to compete and surpass Li-ion batteries in a matter of years. Considerable progress has been achieved in the field of Mg electrolytes, where several new electrolytes with improved electrochemical performance and favorable chemical properties (non-corrosive, non-nucleophilic) were synthesized. Development in the field of cathodes remains a bit more elusive, with inorganic, sulfur, and organic cathodes all showing their upsides and downsides. This review highlights the recent progress in the field of Mg battery cathodes, paying a special attention to the performance and comparison of the different types of the cathodes.
