Bisamide based non-nucleophilic electrolytes for rechargeable magnesium batteries

Non-nucleophilic electrolytes with outstanding electrochemical performances for magnesium batteries have been synthesized through the reaction between a bisamide magnesium and a Lewis acid in an aprotic solvent. High anodic stability, good ionic conductivity, excellent cycling efficiency and the feasibility of the preparation make the in situ generated electrolyte very promising for the potential application in rechargeable magnesium batteries.
