Dissociation of protic ethyl mercaptan cosolvent enables better magnesium electrochemistry reversibility

Key Points

• The central aim is to explore how dissociating a protic ethyl mercaptan impacts magnesium electrochemistry.
• Demonstrated the dissociation of protic ethyl mercaptan in conventional electrolytes.
• Analyzed magnesium electrochemistry reversibility under various conditions.
• Compared performance metrics with and without the protic cosolvent.
• Improved reversibility of magnesium electrochemistry was observed with the dissociated cosolvent.
• Enhanced charge-discharge efficiency was quantified.
• Dissociation significantly altered electrolyte properties favorably.
