The Mg-S battery suffers from the slow Mg2+ diffusion rate in solid discharge products (MgS2, MgS). A possible solution to this problem is Mg-polysulfide flow battery. formation of could potentially be avoided with a high voltage cut-off for process, instead producing soluble magnesium polysulfides (MgSx). Here, feasibility investigated, and low active material utilization lack reversibility found. Moreover, MgSx solutions used are found unstable. UV–vis spectra collected on these indicate...
Magnesium-sulfur batteries are currently researched for their potential as beyond Li-ion electrochemical energy storage devices. Despite the theoretical high volumetric capacity of magnesium metal anodes, sulfur is not very dense and many reports on magnesium-sulfur use configurations with low active material loading carbon content at cathode electrolyte content. Thus, overall density demonstrated high. However, there may be to competitive in grid scale applications. In this presentation, we...
