Description:

(abstract)

This article provides an overview of Mg electrochemistry in both ethereal and non-ethereal electrolyte systems. Comprehensive cyclic voltammetry studies on the electrochemical Mg plating/stripping activity in various electrolyte systems reaffirm that only a limited range of solvents—including ethers, amines, and dialkylsulfones—support reversible Mg plating/stripping. In contrast, Mg plating is rarely observed in nitrile, amide, carbonate, and phosphate electrolytes, despite voltammograms exhibiting seemingly reversible responses. These findings caution researchers against assuming voltammetric responses correspond to Mg plating/stripping without solid evidence of Mg deposits. Finally, a protocol for assessing whether proposed (uncommon) electrolyte systems genuinely support Mg plating/stripping is presented.
