Energy storage concepts based on multivalent ion chemistries, such as Mg2+, promise very high volumetric energy density, however require improvements in electrolyte (Mg salt and solvent) electrochemical window to reach their full potential. Hypothetically the window of Mg salt could be widened by di...
