TL;DR: In this paper, a new preparation method for non-nucleophilic electrolyte solutions using a two-step reaction in one-pot is presented, which provides a feasible way to optimize the physiochemical properties of the electrolyte for the application in magnesium sulfur batteries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of ion conducting salts opens a promising avenue towards the realization of high-energy magnesium batteries, due to the non-corrosive, chemically stable nature and the robust, economic synthesis.

TL;DR: The use of a graphene-sulfur composite cathode electrode, with the properties of a high surface area, a porous morphology, a very good electronic conductivity and the presence of oxygen functional groups, along with a non-nucleophilic Mg electrolyte gives an improved battery performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that magnesium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy) borate Mg[B(hfip)4]2 satisfies a multitude of requirements for an efficient and practical electrolyte, including high anodic stability, high ionic conductivity, and excellent long-term Mg cycling stability with a low polarization.

TL;DR: MgH(2) nanoparticles with a size of <3 nm were formed by direct hydrogenation of Bu( 2)Mg inside the pores of a carbon scaffold by reducing activation energy and reaction enthalpy for the nanoconfined system.
