摘要

In this study, we demonstrate the potential of a gel polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene oxide (PEO), complexed with magnesium triflate [Mg(CF3SO3)2] and plasticized with ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC), for use in rechargeable magnesium batteries. The optimized composition, PEO (12.20 wt%), Mg(CF3SO3)2 (14.6 wt%), EC (36.6 wt%), and PC (36.6 wt%) achieves a notable ionic conductivity of 2.52 × 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature, which increases with temperature according to Arrhenius behavior. The electrolyte demonstrates a high Mg2+ ion transference number (tMg++  = 0.51) and a high total ionic transference number (tion = 0.98) highlighting its excellent performance as an Mg2+ ion conductor. Preliminary battery tests with the cell configuration Mg/PEO:EC:PC:Mg(CF3SO3)2/TiO2-C show a discharge capacity of 65 mA h g-1 at a 0.015C rate, with an open-circuit voltage of 1.85 V. These results suggest that the PEO:EC:PC:Mg(CF3SO3)2 gel polymer electrolyte is a promising candidate for application in magnesium-based electrochemical devices.
