Abstract Herein, an eco‐friendly and high safety aqueous Mg‐ion electrolyte (AME) with a wide electrochemical stability window (ESW) ≈3.7 V, containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) low‐concentration salt (0.8 m Mg(TFSI) 2 ), is proposed by solvation structure reorganization of AME. The PEG agent significantly alters the Mg 2+ hydrogen bonds network AMEs forms direct coordination TFSI ‐ , thus enhancing physicochemical properties electrolytes. As exemplary material, V O 5 nanowires are tested in...

Abstract Battery technologies based in multivalent charge carriers with ideally two or three electrons transferred per ion exchanged between the electrodes have large promises raw performance numbers, most often expressed as high energy density, and are also on materials that widely abundant less expensive. Yet, these still globally their infancy, some concepts (e.g. Mg metal) being more technologically mature. The challenges to address derived one side from highly polarizing nature of ions...
