Abstract
Rechargeable multivalent-ion batteries are attractive alternatives to Li-ion batteries to mitigate their issues with metal resources and metal anodes. However, many challenges remain before they can be practically used due to the low solid-state mobility of multivalent ions. In this study, a promising material identified by high-throughput computational screening is investigated, ε-VOPO4, as a Mg cathode. The experimental and computational evaluation of ε-VOPO4 suggests that it may provide an energy density of >200 Wh kg-1 based on the average voltage of a complete cycle, significantly more than that of well-known Chevrel compounds. Furthermore, this study finds that Mg-ion diffusion can be enhanced by co-intercalation of Li or Na, pointing at interesting correlation dynamics of slow and fast ions.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) batteries hold promise as a large-scale energy storage solution, but their progress has been hindered by the lack of high-performance cathodes. Here, we address this challenge by unlocking the reversible four-electron Te0/Te4+ conversion in elemental Te, enabling the demonstration of superior Mg//Te dual-ion batteries. Specifically, the classic magnesium aluminum chloride complex (MACC) electrolyte is tailored by introducing Mg bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Mg(TFSI)2), which initiates the Te0/Te4+ conversion with two distinct charge-storage steps. Te cathode undergoes Te/TeCl4 conversion involving Cl- as charge carriers, during which a tellurium subchloride phase is presented as an intermediate. Significantly, the Te cathode achieves a high specific capacity of 543 mAh gTe -1 and an outstanding energy density of 850 Wh kgTe -1, outperforming most of the previously reported cathodes. Our electrolyte analysis indicates that the addition of Mg(TFSI)2 reduces the overall ion-molecule interaction and mitigates the strength of ion-solvent aggregation within the MACC electrolyte, which implies the facilized Cl- dissociation from the electrolyte. Besides, Mg(TFSI)2 is verified as an essential buffer to mitigate the corrosion and passivation of Mg anodes caused by the consumption of the electrolyte MgCl2 in Mg//Te dual-ion cells. These findings provide crucial insights into the development of advanced Mg-based dual-ion batteries.

Abstract
Mg-S batteries hold great promise as a potential alternative to Li-based technologies. Their further development hinges on solving a few key challenges, including the lower capacity and poorer cycling performance when compared to Li counterparts. At the heart of the issues is the lack of knowledge on polysulfide chemical behaviors in the Mg-S battery environment. In this Review, a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of polysulfide behaviors in Mg-S batteries is provided. First, a systematic summary of experimental and computational techniques for polysulfide characterization is provided. Next, conversion pathways for Mg polysulfide species within the battery environment are discussed, highlighting the important role of polysulfide solubility in determining reaction kinetics and overall battery performance. The focus then shifts to the negative effects of polysulfide shuttling on Mg-S batteries. The authors outline various strategies for achieving an optimal balance between polysulfide solubility and shuttling, including the use of electrolyte additives, polysulfide-trapping materials, and dual-functional catalysts. Based on the current understanding, the directions for further advancing knowledge of Mg polysulfide chemistry are identified, emphasizing the integration of experiment with computation as a powerful approach to accelerate the development of Mg-S battery technology.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been proposed as a promising alternative to currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries. However, Mg anode passivation in conventional electrolytes necessitates the use of highly corrosive Cl- ions in the electrolyte. Herein for the first time, we design a chloride-free electrolyte for RMBs with magnesium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) (Mg(HMDS)2) and magnesium triflate (Mg(OTf)2) as the main salts and tetrabutylammonium triflate (TBAOTf) as an additive. The TBAOTf additive improved the dissolution of Mg salts, consequently enhancing the charge-carrying species in the electrolyte. COMSOL studies further revealed desirable Mg growth in our modulated electrolyte, substantiated by homogeneous electric flux distribution across the electrolyte-electrode interface. Post-mortem chemical composition analysis uncovered a MgF2-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that facilitated exceptional Mg deposition/dissolution reversibility. Our study illustrates a highly promising strategy for synthesizing a corrosion-free and reversible Mg battery electrolyte with a widened anodic stability window of up to 4.43 V.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) attract research interest owing to the low cost and high reliability, but the design of cathode materials is the major difficulty of their development. The bivalent magnesium cation suffers from a strong interaction with the anion and is difficult to intercalate into traditional magnesium intercalation cathodes. Herein, an amorphous molybdenum polysulfide (a-MoSx ) is synthesized via a simple one-step solvothermal reaction and used as the cathode material for RMBs. The a-MoSx cathode provides a high capacity (185 mAh g-1 ) and a good rate performance (50 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 ), which are much superior compared with crystalline MoS2 and demonstrate the privilege of amorphous RMB cathodes. A mechanism study demonstrates both of molybdenum and sulfur undergo redox reactions and contribute to the capacity. Further optimizations indicate low-temperature synthesis would favor the magnesium storage performance of a-MoSx .

Abstract
Ca- and Mg-based batteries represent a more sustainable alternative to Li-ion batteries. However, multivalent cation technologies suffer from poor cation mass transport. In addition, the development of positive electrodes enabling reversible charge storage currently represents one of the major challenges. Organic positive electrodes, in addition to being the most sustainable and potentially low-cost candidates, compared with their inorganic counterparts, currently present the best electrochemical performances in Ca and Mg cells. Unfortunately, organic positive electrodes suffer from relatively low capacity retention upon cycling, the origin of which is not yet fully understood. Here, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-derived polyimide was tested in Li, Na, Mg, and Ca cells for the sake of comparison in terms of redox potential, gravimetric capacities, capacity retention, and rate capability. The redox mechanisms were also investigated by means of operando IR experiments, and a parameter affecting most figures of merit has been identified: the presence of contact ion-pairs in the electrolyte.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) metal secondary batteries have attracted much attention for their high safety and high energy density characteristics. However, the significant issues of the cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI) in Mg batteries are still being ignored. In this work, a significant CEI layer on the typical Mo6 S8 cathode surface has been unprecedentedly constructed through the oxidation of the chloride-free magnesium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy)borate (Mg[B(hfip)4 ]2 ) salt under a proper charge cut-off voltage condition. The CEI has been identified to contain Bx Oy effective species originating from the oxidation of [B(hfip)4 ]- anion. It is confirmed that the Bx Oy species is beneficial to the desolvation of solvated Mg2+ , speeding up the interfacial Mg2+ transfer kinetics, thereby improving the Mg2+ -storage capability of Mo6 S8 host. The firstly reported CEI in Mg batteries will give deeper insights into the interface issues in multivalent electrochemical systems.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has many unique properties suitable for applications in the fields of energy conversion and storage. These fields presently rely on noble metals for efficient performance. However, among other challenges, noble metals have low natural abundance, which undermines their sustainability. Mg has a high negative standard reduction potential and a unique crystal structure, and its low melting point at 650 °C makes it a good candidate to replace or supplement numerous other metals in various energy applications. These attractive features are particularly helpful for improving the properties and limits of materials in energy systems. However, knowledge of Mg and its practical uses is still limited, despite recent studies which have reported Mg's key roles in synthesizing new structures and modifying the chemical properties of materials. At present, information about Mg chemistry has been rather scattered without any organized report. The present review highlights the chemistry of Mg and its uses in energy applications such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and secondary batteries, among others. Future perspectives on the development of Mg-based materials are further discussed to identify the challenges that need to be addressed.

Abstract
The demand for high-energy-density and safe energy storage devices has spurred increasing interest in high-voltage rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMB). As electrolytes are the bridge connecting the cathode and anode materials, the development of high-voltage electrolytes is the key factor in realizing high-voltage RMBs. This concept presents an overview of three chloride-free electrolyte systems with wide electrochemical windows, together with the degradation mechanisms and modification strategies at the anode/electrolyte interphase. Finally, future directions in stabilizing Mg anodes and realizing high-voltage RMBs are highlighted.

Abstract
Magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) promise to be the next post lithium-ion batteries that can help meet the increasing demand for high-energy, cost-effective, high-safety energy storage devices. Early prototype MRBs that use molybdenum-sulfide cathodes have low terminal voltages, requiring the development of oxide-based cathodes capable of overcoming the sulfide's low Mg2+ conductivity. Here, we fabricate an ultraporous (>500 m2 g-1) and ultrasmall (<2.5 nm) cubic spinel MgMn2O4 (MMO) by a freeze-dry assisted room-temperature alcohol reduction process. While the as-fabricated MMO exhibits a discharge capacity of 160 mAh g-1, the removal of its surface hydroxy groups by heat-treatment activates it without structural change, improving its discharge capacity to 270 mAh g-1─the theoretical capacity at room temperature. These results are made possible by the ultraporous, ultrasmall particles that stabilize the metastable cubic spinel phase, promoting both the Mg2+ insertion/deintercalation in the MMO and the reversible transformation between the cubic spinel and cubic rock-salt phases.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been considered as one of the most viable battery chemistries amongst the "post" lithium-ion battery (LIB) technologies owing to their high volumetric capacity and the natural abundance of their key elements. The fundamental properties of Mg-ion conducting electrolytes are of essence to regulate the overall performance of RMBs. In this Review, the basic electrochemistry of Mg-ion conducting electrolytes batteries is discussed and compared to that of the Li-ion conducting electrolytes, and a comprehensive overview of the development of different Mg-ion conducting electrolytes is provided. In addition, the remaining challenges and possible solutions for future research are intensively discussed. The present work is expected to give an impetus to inspire the discovery of key electrolytes and thereby improve the electrochemical performances of RMBs and other related emerging battery technologies.

Abstract
The benchmark magnesium electrolyte, [Mg2Cl3]+ [AlPh4]-, can be prepared in a 100% atom-economic fashion by a ligand exchange reaction between AlCl3 and two molar equivalents of MgPh2. NMR and vibrational spectroscopy indicate that the reported approach results in a simpler ionic composition than the more widely adopted synthesis route of combining PhMgCl with AlCl3. Electrochemical performance has been validated by polarisation tests and cyclic voltammetry, which demonstrate excellent stability of electrolytes produced via this atom-efficient approach.

Abstract
Kinetics and coulombic efficiency of the electrochemical magnesium plating and stripping processes are to a significant extent defined by the composition of the electrolyte solution, optimization of which presents a pathway for improved performance. Adopting this strategy, we undertook a systematic investigation of the Mg0/2+ process in different combinations of the Mg2+-Li+-borohydride-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (TFSI-) electrolytes in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) solvent. Results indicate that the presence of BH4- is essential for high coulombic efficiency, which coordination to Mg2+ was confirmed by Raman and NMR spectroscopic analysis. However, the high rates observed also require the presence of Li+ and a supplementary anion such as TFSI-. The Li+ + BH4- + TFSI- combination of ionic species prevents passivation of the magnesium surface and thereby enables efficient Mg0/2+ electrochemical cycling. The best Mg0/2+ performance with the stabilized coulombic efficiency of 88 ± 1% and one of the highest deposition/stripping rates at ambient temperature reported to date are demonstrated at an optimal [Mg(BH4)2]:[LiTFSI] mole ratio of 1:2.

Abstract
Uniform magnesium (Mg) plating/stripping under high areal capacity utilization is critical for the practical application of Mg-metal anodes in rechargeable Mg batteries. However, the failure of the Mg-metal anode when cycling under a practical areal capacity (>4 mA h cm-2 ), is of rising concern. The mechanism behind these failures remains controversial. In this work, it is illustrated that the initial plating Mg can be undoubtedly uniform in a wide range of current densities (≤5 mA cm-2 ) and under a practical areal capacity (6 mA h cm-2 ). However, an unusual self-accelerating pit growth is observed in the Mg stripping side under moderate current densities (0.1-1 mA cm-2 ), which severely deteriorates the anode integrity and subsequent Mg plating uniformity, causing failure of the Mg-metal anode or short circuit of the battery. The stripping morphology depends on the applied current density, as non-uniformity versus the current density displays a volcano plot during the stripping process. Through in situ spectroscopy, it is illustrated that this current-dependent behavior is determined by the evolution of chlorine-containing complex ions near the interface. This research reminds that the plating/stripping process of the Mg-metal anode must be considered comprehensively for practical Mg-metal batteries.

Abstract
The design of electrolyte solutions that permit reversible and efficient Mg metal electrodeposition is one of the most important tasks in the development of rechargeable Mg batteries. Several types of electrolyte solutions for Mg metal anodes have been developed and explored over the last two decades. These investigations have contributed to a better understanding of the Mg deposition and stripping processes. However, the Coulombic efficiency (CE) for reversible electrodeposition reported for these various systems and their performance in comparison to one another remained unclear. We used rigorous electrochemical methods to accurately quantify the average CE of the major electrolyte solutions considered for secondary Mg metal batteries. We demonstrated how changes in the experiential protocols influence CE measurements, resulting in inconsistent reports. Even though exceptional efficiency has been reported for a variety of systems, we discovered that the only candidate that currently meets the 99% CE benchmark during a prolonged cycling procedure is the dichloro-complex, which is a first-generation Grignard-based electrolyte solution. Second- and third-generation Grignard-free and chloride-free solutions showed reasonable CE only when the deposition currents densities were lowered. This comprehensive and systematic investigation will help to create a more accurate treasure map for potential electrolyte solutions for rechargeable Mg metal anodes.

Abstract
Passivation of the Mg anode surface in conventional electrolytes constitutes a critical issue for practical Mg batteries. In this work, a perfluorinated tert-butoxide magnesium salt, Mg(pftb)2 , is codissolved with MgCl2 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form an all-magnesium salt electrolyte. Raman spectroscopy and density function theory calculation confirm that [Mg2 Cl3 ·6THF]+ [Mg(pftb)3 ]- is the main electrochemically active species of the electrolyte. The proper lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the [Mg(pftb)3 ]- anion enables in situ formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Mg anodes. A detailed analysis of the SEI reveals that its stability originates from a dual-layered organic/inorganic hybrid structure. Mg//Cu and Mg//Mg cells using the electrolyte achieve a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.7% over 3000 cycles, and low overpotentials over ultralong-cycle lives of 8100, 3000, and 1500 h at current densities of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mA cm-2 , respectively. The robust SEI layer, once formed on a Mg electrode, is also shown highly effective in suppressing side-reactions in a TFSI- -containing electrolyte. A high Coulombic efficiency of 99.5% over 800 cycles is also demonstrated for a Mg//Mo6 S8 full cell, showing great promise of the SEI forming electrolyte in future Mg batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable Mg|O2 batteries (RMOBs) offer several advantages over alkali metal-based battery systems owing to Mg’s ease of transport/storage in ambient environment, low cost originating from its high abundance, as well as the high theoretical specific energy of RMOBs. However, research on RMOBs has been stagnant for the past decade, largely owing to unacceptably poor electrochemical performance. Here, we present a RMOB that employs Mg anode, Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in diglyme (G2) electrolyte, and commercial Pt/C on carbon fiber paper (Pt/C@CFP) oxygen cathode. This battery demonstrates unparalleled improvement over existing RMOBs by rendering a discharge capacity over 1.6 mAh cm−2, achieving cycle lives up to 35 cycles with a cumulative energy density of ∼3.2 mWh cm−2 at room temperature. This RMOB system seeks to reignite the pursuit of novel electrochemical systems based on Mg-O2 chemistries. A rechargeable Mg|O2 battery with prolonged cycle life (∼35 cycles) is demonstrated Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in G2 enables reversible battery cycling O2 environment A multistep discharge product formation pathway is proposed MgO is identified as the main discharge product

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are promising candidates to replace currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their merits of abundant resources, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacity, etc. However, the development of RMBs is still facing great challenges including the incompatibility of the electrolyte and the lack of suitable cathode materials with high reversible capacity and fast kinetics of Mg2+ . While tremendous efforts have been made to explore compatible electrolytes and appropriate electrode materials, the rational design of unconventional Mg-based battery systems is another effective strategy for achieving high electrochemical performance. This review specifically discusses the recent research progress of various Mg-based battery systems. First, the optimization of electrolyte and electrode materials for conventional RMBs is briefly discussed. Furthermore, various Mg-based battery systems, including Mg-chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries, Mg-halogen (Br2 , I2 ) batteries, hybrid-ion batteries, and Mg-based dual-ion batteries are systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of different Mg-based battery systems, which can inspire latecomers to explore new strategies for the development of high-performance and practically available RMBs.

Rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) are advantageous large-scale energy-storage devices because of the high abundance and high safety, but exploring high-performance cathodes remains the largest difficulty for the development. Compared with oxides and sulfides, selenides show better Mg-storage performance because the weaker interaction with the Mg2+ cation favors fast kinetics. Herein, nanorods-like FeSe2 was synthesized and investigated as cathodes for RMBs. Compared with microspheres and microparticles, nanorods exhibits higher capacity and better rate capability with the smaller particle size. The FeSe2 nanorods show a high capacity of 191 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and a good rate performance of 39 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1. Ex-situ characterizations demonstrate the Mg2+ intercalation mechanism for FeSe2, and slight conversion reaction occurs on the surface of the particles. The capacity fading is mainly because of the dissolution of Fe2+, which is caused by the reaction between Fe2+ and Cl- of the electrolyte during the charge process on the surface of the particles. The surface of FeSe2 is mainly selenium after long cycling, which may also dissolve in the electrolyte during cycling. The present work develops a new type of Mg2+ intercalation cathode for RMBs. More importantly, the fading mechanism revealed herein has considered the specificity of Mg battery electrolyte and would assist a better understanding of selenide cathodes for RMBs.

Abstract
The integration of highly-safe Mg anode and fast Li+ kinetics endows hybrid Mg2+ /Li+ batteries (MLIBs) a promising future, but the practical application is circumvented by the lack of appropriate cathodes that enable the realization of an enough participation of Mg2+ in the reactions, resulting in a high dependence on Li+ . Herein, the authors develop a series of size-controllable nickel sulfide nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanofibers (NiS@C) with synergistic effect of particle diameter and carbon content as the cathode material for MLIBs. The optimized particle size is designed to maximize the utilization of the active material and remit internal stress, and appropriate carbon encapsulation efficiently inhibiting the pulverization of particles and accelerates the ability of conducting ions and electrons. In consequence, the representative NiS@C delivers superior electrochemical performance with a highest discharge capacity of 435 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 . Such conversion cathode also exhibits excellent rate performance and remarkable cycle life. Significantly, the conversion mechanism of NiS in MLIBs is unambiguously demonstrated for the first time, affirming the corporate involvement of both Mg2+ and Li+ at the cathodic side. This work underlines a guide for developing conversion-type materials with high rate capability and cyclic performance for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Constructing bimetallic sulfides with ideal structures could effectively alleviate the poor cycling stability of rechargeable Mg batteries due to a bimetallic synergistic effect. An exquisite yolk-shell structured bimetallic sulfide NiCo2S4 synthesized via a two-step solvothermal hydrothermal method is investigated as a cathode material for rechargeable Mg batteries. With the bimetallic strategy and well-designed architecture, the as-synthesized yolk-shell NiCo2S4 exhibits outstanding Mg-storage performance, demonstrating a superior reversible capacity (270 mA h g-1 at 50 mA h g-1), a high rate capability, and a specific capacity retention of 91% over 400 cycles (2.2% capacity decay per cycle). The in-depth mechanism investigation reveals the two-step conversion reaction process and the bimetallic synergistic effect in the Mg-storage process. Based on DFT calculations and kinetic investigations, the bimetallic synergistic effect effectively alleviates the Jahn-Teller effect and distortion in the crystal lattices and increases active reaction sites, thus largely enhancing the electrochemical Mg-storage performance. The superior electrochemical performance of NiCo2S4 not only demonstrates the viability of the bimetallic strategy but also sheds light on the use of nanostructure design for high-performance cathode research.

Abstract
One of the greatest challenges toward rechargeable magnesium batteries is the development of noncorrosive electrolyte solutions with high anodic stability that can support reversible Mg deposition/dissolution. In the last few years, magnesium electrolyte solutions based on Cl-free fluorinated alkoxyborates were investigated for Mg batteries due to their high anodic stability and ionic conductivity and the possibility of reversible deposition/dissolution in ethereal solvents. Here, the electrochemical performance of Mg[B(hexafluoroisopropanol)4]2/dimethoxyethane (Mg[B(HFIP)4]2/DME) solutions was examined. These electrolyte solutions require a special "conditioning" pretreatment that removes undesirable active moieties. Such a process was developed and explored, and basic scientific issues related to the mechanism by which it affects Mg deposition/dissolution were addressed. The chemical changes that occur during the conditioning process were examined. Mg[B(HFIP)4]2/DME solutions were found to enable reversible Mg deposition, albeit with a relatively low Coulombic efficiency of 95% during the first cycles. Prolonged deposition/dissolution cycling tests demonstrate a stable behavior of magnesium electrodes. Overall, this system presents a reasonable electrolyte solution and can serve as a basis for future efforts to develop chlorine-free alternatives for secondary magnesium batteries. It is clear that such a conditioning process is mandatory, as it removes reactive contaminants that lead to unavoidable passivation and deactivation of Mg electrodes from the solution.

Abstract
Batteries, as highly concerned energy conversion system, have a great development prospect in various fields, especially in the field of energy powered vehicles. Multivalent ion batteries are getting more attention due to their low cost, high abundance in earth crust, high capacity and safety compared with Lithium batteries. Despite above advantages, several problems still need to be solved before multivalent ion batteries achieve large-scale application, such as interfacial parasitic reaction, anode passivation, and dendrites. The replacement of liquid electrolytes with gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) which pose high safety, high mechanical strength and simplified battery system, is an effective strategy to inhibit dendrite growth and improve electrochemical performance. This review mainly discusses the advantages and challenges of multivalent ion batteries including zinc, magnesium, calcium and aluminum batteries. Meanwhile, the major targets of this review are introducing the recent developments and making a summary of the future trends of GPEs in the multivalent ion batteries.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) offer a great alternative to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, based on their high promises due to the absence of transition metals and the use of low-cost materials, which could make them economically favorable targeting stationary energy storage applications. In addition, they are not limited by certain metal cations, and DIBs with a broad variety of utilized ions could be demonstrated over the last years. Herein, a systematic study of different electrolyte approaches for Mg-ion-based DIBs was conducted. A side-by-side comparison of Li- and Mg-ion-based electrolytes using activated carbon as negative electrode revealed the opportunities but also limitations of Mg-ion-based DIBs. Ethylene sulfite was successfully introduced as electrolyte additive and increased the specific discharge capacity significantly up to 93±2 mAh g-1 with coulombic efficiencies over 99 % and an excellent capacity retention of 88 % after 400 cycles. In addition, and for the first time, highly concentrated carbonate-based electrolytes were employed for Mg-ion-based DIBs, showing adequate discharge capacities and high coulombic efficiencies.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are considered as one of the most promising next-generation secondary batteries due to their low cost, safety, dendrite-free nature, as well as high volumetric energy density. However, the lack of suitable cathode material and electrolyte is the greatest challenge facing practical RMBs. Herein, a hybrid electrolyte MgCl2/AlCl3/Mg(TFSI)2 (MACT) in dimethyl ether (DME) is developed and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. The high ionic conductivity (6.82 mS cm-1) and unique solvation structure of [Mg2(μ-Cl)2(DME)4]2+ promote the fast Mg kinetics and favorable thermodynamics in hybrid Mg salts and DME electrolyte, accelerating mass transport and the charge transfer process. Therefore, the great rate capability can be realized both in symmetric Mg/Mg cell and in CuS/Mg full cell.

Abstract
Magnesium metal batteries (MMBs) have obtained the reputation owing to the high volumetric capacity, low reduction potential, and dendrite-free deposition behavior of the Mg metal anode. However, the bivalent nature of the Mg2+ causes its strong coulombic interaction with the cathode host, which limits the reaction kinetics and reversibility of MMBs, especially based on oxide cathodes. Herein, a synergetic modulation of host pillaring and electrolyte formulation is proposed to activate the layered V2 O5 cathode with expanded interlayers via sequential intercalations of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The preservation of bundled nanowire texture, copillaring behavior of PEDOT and CTA+ , dual-insertion mode of Mg2+ and MgCl+ at cathode side enable the better charge transfers in both the bulk and interface paths as well as the interaction mitigation effect between Mg-species cations and host lattices. The introduction of CTA+ as electrolyte additive can also lower the interface resistance and smoothen the Mg anode morphology. These modifications endow the full cells coupled with metallic Mg anode with the maximized reversible capacity (288.7 mAh g-1 ) and superior cyclability (over 500 cycles at 500 mA g-1 ), superior to most already reported Mg-ion shuttle batteries even based on passivation-resistant non-Mg anodes or operated at higher temperatures.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are regarded as promising candidates for beyond-lithium-ion batteries owing to their high energy density. Moreover, as Mg metal is earth-abundant and has low propensity for dendritic growth, RMBs have the advantages of being more affordable and safer than the currently used lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial viability of RMBs has been negatively impacted by slow diffusion kinetics in most cathode materials due to the high charge density and strongly polarizing nature of the Mg2+ ion. Nanostructuring of potential cathode materials such as metal chalcogenides offers an effective means of addressing these challenges by providing larger surface area and shorter migration routes. In this article, a review of recent research on the design of metal chalcogenide nanostructures for RMBs' cathode materials is provided. The different types and structures of metal chalcogenide cathodes are discussed, and the synthetic strategies through which nanostructuring of these materials can be achieved are described. An organized summary of their electrochemical performance is also presented, along with an analysis of the current challenges and future directions. Although particular focus is placed on RMBs, many of the nanostructuring concepts that are discussed here can be carried forward to other next-generation energy storage systems.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium-sulfur (Mg-S) batteries are emerging as a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage technologies owing to their prominent advantages in terms of high volumetric energy density, low cost, and enhanced safety. However, their practical implementation is facing great challenges in finding electrolytes that can fulfill a multitude of rigorous requirements along with efficient sulfur cathodes and magnesium anodes. This review highlights electrolyte design for reliable Mg-S batteries in terms of efficient Mg-based salt construction (cation/anion design of organomagnesium salt-based electrolytes, optimization of all inorganic salt-based electrolytes and choosing of simple salt-based electrolytes), suitable solvent selection, and strategies for confronting corrosivity of Mg electrolytes. Before the comprehensive overview of the research status of Mg-based electrolytes, the understanding of Mg-S electrochemistry and views on the recent progress and potential strategies for high-performance S-based cathode and Mg anode are also provided for a holistic insight into Mg-S systems. At the end, the perspectives on the possible research directions for constructing high performance practical Mg-S batteries are also shared.

Abstract
Development of practical rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) is impeded by their limited cycle life and rate performance of cathodes. As demonstrated herein, a copper-porphyrin with meso-functionalized ethynyl groups is capable of reversible two- and four-electron storage at an extremely fast rate (tested up to 53 C). The reversible four-electron redox process with cationic-anionic contributions resulted in a specific discharge capacity of 155 mAh g-1 at the high current density of 1000 mA g-1 . Even at 4000 mA g-1 , it still delivered >70 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles, corresponding to an energy density of >92 Wh kg-1 at a high power of >5100 W kg-1 . The ability to provide such high-rate performance and long-life opens the way to the development of practical cathodes for multivalent metal batteries.

Abstract
Magnesium-based batteries represent one of the successfully emerging electrochemical energy storage chemistries, mainly due to the high theoretical volumetric capacity of metallic magnesium (i.e., 3833 mAh cm-3 vs. 2046 mAh cm-3 for lithium), its low reduction potential (-2.37 V vs. SHE), abundance in the Earth's crust (104 times higher than that of lithium) and dendrite-free behaviour when used as an anode during cycling. However, Mg deposition and dissolution processes in polar organic electrolytes lead to the formation of a passivation film bearing an insulating effect towards Mg2+ ions. Several strategies to overcome this drawback have been recently proposed, keeping as a main goal that of reducing the formation of such passivation layers and improving the magnesium-related kinetics. This manuscript offers a literature analysis on this topic, starting with a rapid overview on magnesium batteries as a feasible strategy for storing electricity coming from renewables, and then addressing the most relevant outcomes in the field of anodic materials (i.e., metallic magnesium, bismuth-, titanium- and tin-based electrodes, biphasic alloys, nanostructured metal oxides, boron clusters, graphene-based electrodes, etc.).

Abstract
Beyond current lithium-ion technologies, magnesium-sulfur (Mg-S) batteries represent one of the most attractive battery chemistries that utilize low cost, sustainable, and high capacity materials. In addition to high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, Mg-S batteries also enable safer operation due to the lower propensity for magnesium dendrite growth compared to lithium. However, the development of practical Mg-S batteries remains challenging. Major problems such as self-discharge, rapid capacity loss, magnesium anode passivation, and low sulfur cathode utilization still plague these batteries, necessitating advanced material design strategies for the cathode, anode, and electrolyte. This review critically appraises the latest research and design principles to address specific issues in state-of-the-art Mg-S batteries. In the process, we point out current limitations and open-ended questions, and propose future research directions for practical realization of Mg-S batteries and beyond.

Abstract
The full extent to which the electrochemical properties of MoS2 electrodes are influenced by their morphological characteristics, such as crystalline disorder, remains unclear. Here, we report that disorder introduced by ball-milling decreases the Faradaic component of cell capacity and leads to increasingly pseudo-capacitive behaviour. After high temperature annealing, a more battery-like character of the cell is restored, consistent with a decrease in disorder. These findings aid the optimisation of MoS2 electrodes, which show promise in several battery technologies.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) metal anode is a highly desirable candidate among various high energy density metal anodes, possessing higher volumetric capacity and better safety characteristic compared to lithium metal. However, most Mg salts in conventional Mg electrolytes easily react with Mg metal to form blocking layers, leading to inferior reversibility of Mg plating/stripping. Here, a stable Mg2+ -conducting solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is successfully constructed on Mg metal anode by regulating the molecular-orbital-energy-level toward an aluminum(III)-centered anion Mg salt through anion-solvent coordination. Of which, the LUMO energy level of perfluorinated pinacolatoaluminate (Al(O2 C2 (CF3 )4 )2 - , abbreviated as FPA) anion has been adjusted by coordinating with solvent molecule (tetrahydrofuran) for facilitating the formation of advantageous SEI. The existence of SEI formed by FPA anion greatly improves the reversibility and long-term stability of Mg plating/stripping process. More importantly, based on this aluminum(III)-centered Mg electrolyte, the Mo6 S8 /Mg batteries can achieve a fantastic cycle performance of 9000 cycles, proving the beneficial effect of SEI on the cycling stability of Mg battery system. These findings open up a promising avenue to construct stable and compatible SEI on Mg metal anode, and lay significant foundations for the successful development of rechargeable Mg metal batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been regarded as one of the most promising competitors for energy storage systems owing to their high volumetric density (3800 W h cm-3), earth abundance and safe metallic Mg anode. However, up till now, only a few cathode materials and suitable electrolytes could be used for RMBs, which has hindered the applications for rechargeable magnesium batteries. In this study, erythrocyte-like CuS nanosheet assemblies were prepared via a hydrothermal process and applied to RMBs with Mg2+ and Mg2+/Li+ complex electrolytes. Erythrocyte-like CuS|Mg2+, Li+|Mg secondary batteries provide a stabilized capacity of 250 mA h g-1 without the activation process and excellent cycling stability over 500 cycles, which is superior to that in pure Mg2+ electrolytes. Further, the reaction mechanism and kinetic analysis revealed that the addition of lithium salts could not only enhance the electrochemical performance but also effectively avoid the activation process. Considering the outstanding electrochemical performance of CuS in the Mg2+/Li+ complex electrolyte, our study provides a new strategy for designing electrode structures and electrolyte composition for rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Abstract
The development of noncorrosive but highly efficient electrolytes has been a long-standing challenge in magnesium rechargeable battery (MRB) research fields. As fluorinated alkoxyborate-based electrolytes have overcome serious problems associated with conventional electrolytes, they are regarded as promising for practical MRB applications. An electrolyte containing representative magnesium fluorinated alkoxyborate Mg[B(HFIP)4]2 ([B(HFIP)4]: tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropoxy) borate) was prepared through general synthetic routes using Mg(BH4)2; however, it shows poor electrochemical magnesium deposition/dissolution behavior. Herein, we report an alternative synthetic route of highly reactive Mg[B(HFIP)4]2 and several critical issues associated with the use of Mg[B(HFIP)4]2/glyme electrolytes in MRBs. The cycling performance of the electrolytes as well as the synthetic reproducibility of the salt was significantly improved upon adopting a transmetalation reaction between certain magnesium and boron compounds for the salt preparation. Despite the outstanding electrochemical activity of Mg[B(HFIP)4]2/glyme, the electrolytes were unstable with the magnesium metal. The remarkably high dissociativity of Mg[B(HFIP)4]2 in glyme solutions and the resulting enhanced induction interaction of Mg2+ with coordinated glymes make the solutions reductively unstable. Surface passivation by [TFSA]-based electrolytes (TFSA: bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) effectively suppressed the decomposition of Mg[B(HFIP)4]2/glyme electrolytes. This passivation simultaneously caused a large overpotential for electrochemical cycling. The short-circuiting of the cells upon repeated deposition/dissolution cycling is rather problematic. Here, the findings disclose the issues of fluorinated alkoxyborate-based electrolyte solutions that should be resolved for practical MRB materialization. We also emphasize the importance of systematic strategies in manipulating the electrolytes and interfaces as well as base magnesium metal based on each appropriate approach.
