A Lewis acid-free and phenolate-based magnesium electrolyte for rechargeable magnesium batteries

A novel Lewis acid-free and phenolate-based magnesium electrolyte has been established. The excellent reversibility and stability of this electrolyte in battery cycling render this novel Lewis acid-free synthetic approach as a highly promising alternative for the development of highly anodically stable magnesium electrolytes for rechargeable magnesium batteries.
