Batteries based on Mg metal anodes promise high capacities and dendrite-free metal deposition, making them one of the most promising candidates for post-Li(Na) energy-storage technologies. Herein, for the first time, the fundamental issue of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth under open circuit voltage (OCV) conditions in a Mg salt-triglyme electrolyte as observed by electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is dealt with. The EIS suggests that SEIs are liquid/solid composites where ion transport occurs predominantly via diffusion in the encapsulated liquid Depending on the salt choice, volume percent of the liquid part of SEI is varied up to one order of magnitude. The surface limiting reaction growth mechanism proceeds through SEI densification or as a consequence of inherent mech. instabilities. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2Reference of 112-49-2).
2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2) belongs to ethers. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive. Autoxidation is the spontaneous oxidation of a compound in air. In the presence of oxygen, ethers slowly autoxidize to form hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides. If concentrated or heated, these peroxides may explode. To prevent such explosions, ethers should be obtained in small quantities, kept in tightly sealed containers, and used promptly.Reference of 112-49-2
