Abstract

Abstract: Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have attracted tremendous attention in energy storage applications in term of high abundance, high specific capacity and remarkable safety of metallic magnesium (Mg) anode. However, a serious passivation of Mg anode in the conventional electrolytes leads to extremely poor plating/stripping performance, further hindering its applications. Herein, we propose a convenient method to construct an artificial interphase layer on Mg anode by substitution and alloying reactions between SbCl₃ and Mg. This Sb-based artificial interphase layer containing mainly MgCl₂ and Mg₃Sb₂ endows the significantly improved interfacial kinetics and electrochemical performance of Mg anode. The overpotential of Mg plating/stripping in conventional Mg(TFSI)₂/DME electrolytes is vastly reduced from over 2 V to 0.25-0.3 V. Combining experiments and calculations, we demonstrate that under the uniform distribution of MgCl₂ and Mg₃Sb₂, an electric field with a favorable potential gradient is formed on the anode surface, which enables swift Mg²⁺ migration. Meanwhile, this layer can inhibit the decomposition of electrolytes to protect anode. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the artificial solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) construction, and a more achievable and safe path to realize the application of metallic Mg anode in RMBs.
