CHAPTER 1: Motivation for a Magnesium Battery
Preliminary work in the context of the later magnesium battery dates back to more than 100 years ago when Grignard developed Mg organometallic reagents, 6 which were later tested as electrolytes as they are capable of reversibly stripping and plating magnesium. 7 In this work by Gregory et al., Mg electrolytes were synthesized in ethereal solvents via the
