Electrolyte of Excellent Electrochemical Stability and High
Efficiency –Promising Potential for the Development of New Types of Batteries
The Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) established by Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) is pushing research relating to batteries of the
next and next-but-one generations: A research team has now developed an
electrolyte that may be used for the construction of magnesium-sulfur battery
cells. With magnesium, higher storage densities could be achieved than with
lithium. Moreover, magnesium is abundant in nature, it is non-toxic, and does
not degrade in air. The new electrolyte is now presented in the journal
“Advanced Energy Materials”.
