Sulfur (S) is an attractive candidate for cathodes of the next-generation batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity of 1673 mAh/g, its natural abundance, non-toxicity, and low cost. When paired with a Li metal anode, the lithium-sulfur (Li–S) battery provides a high theoretical energy density of 2800 Wh/L and 2600 Wh/kg.
Amid burgeoning environmental concerns, electrochemical energy storage has rapidly gained momentum. Among the contenders in the “beyond lithium” energy storage arena, the magnesium-sulfur (Mg/S) battery has emerged as particularly promising, owing to its high theoretical energy density.
While the high electrolyte-sulfur ratio and the expensive liquid electrolyte are significantly limiting the practical application of Mg/S batteries, we found that solid-state Mg electrolyte appears to be a feasible solution on the basis of energy density and cost evaluation.
Based on this calculation, the cost of SSE is assumed to vary from 0.1 to 4.5 $ g −1. The material cost of solid-state Mg/S batteries is calculated in Table S16. Contrasted to pouch cell with liquid electrolyte, the cell material cost decreases with increased S loading obviously, as shown in Figure 4B.
However, due to the intrinsic complex reaction chemistry of sulfur cathodes and metal anodes, such as slow diffusion of the divalent ion, the shuttle of soluble polysulfide, and irreversible deposition of Mg ions on metal electrodes, Mg-S batteries still need further optimization to meet requirements for practical applications.
Rechargeable magnesium (Mg) battery has been considered as a promising candidate for future battery generations because of its potential high-energy density, its safety features and low cost.
