Advances in Magnesium Electrochemistry — A Challenge for Nanomaterials
875-890In this review, very recent studies related
to magnesium electrochemistry (in connection with R&D of Mg batteries) have
been reported. These include the study of new electrolyte solutions, based on complexes
with the formal stoichiometry, Mg(ALCL4-nRn)2 in
ethers, their unique structures and analysis by electrochemical and spectroscopic
methods, the study of Mg deposition processes by microelectrodes and microscopy,
and the study of Mg insertion into hosts based on the so-called Chevrel phase structure
(Mg0-2Mo6X8, X=S, Se). The ionic mobility of Mg2+
ions and their ease of diffusion within these structures are discussed. It is demonstrated
that the use of a nanostructured active mass may be highly important for reducing
the diffusion length considerably, and hence, for increasing the kinetics of transport
of the bivalent cations. We deal herein with some key factors that may affect
the possibility of smooth and reversible Mg insertion into inorganic host materials,
and the possible advantages in the use of nanoparticles for these systems
