“…Recently, anion doping via insertion of fluorine ions [207] proved to have a strong impact on the magnetic characteristics of LSMO films. Further, by considering the late achievements in the field of electrochemical batteries, magnesium, [208] sodium, [209] and chloride [210] ions are other interesting candidates to be put in use in magnetoionics.…”

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] From a technological perspective, several low-power ME applications have been envisioned, comprising devices for memory storage and processing, [13,14] tuning and filtering of RF/microwave signals, [15,16] energy conversion and harvesting, [17,18] sensing, [19,20] and actuation. [21,22] By definition, the direct ME effect is manifested when an electric polarization P is induced by usage of a magnetic field H in accordance with Δ Δ to compare the strength of the interaction between electricity and magnetism among different magnetoelectric systems. chemical control of the physical (magnetic) properties in metals and oxide nanostructures; electrostatic doping via field-effect; reversible magnetic phase transitions induced with ionic liquid charging; spintronics; printed electronics; fabrication of solution-processed devices (transistors, etc.)There are some nontrivial reasons explaining why solid/ liquid ME composites developed later than all-solid-state approaches. From an experimental perspective, the usage of conventional aqueous electrolytes poses some restrictions in terms of the operating conditions. Concerning the applied voltage, water electrolysis already occurs at a low voltage of

“…[162] Many efforts devoted to RMBs have been discussed and summarized in previous reviews. [30,31,35,161,[163][164][165][166][167] One potential obstacle to the feasibility of RMBs is the need to develop electrolyte solutions that enable reversible Mg deposition/dissolution.

Rechargeable batteries are considered one of the most effective energy storage technologies to bridge the production and consumption of renewable energy. The further development of rechargeable batteries with characteristics such as high energy density, low cost, safety, and a long cycle life is required to meet the ever‐increasing energy‐storage demands. This Review highlights the progress achieved with halide‐based materials in rechargeable batteries, including the use of halide electrodes, bulk and/or surface halogen‐doping of electrodes, electrolyte design, and additives that enable fast ion shuttling and stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces, as well as realization of new battery chemistry. Battery chemistry based on monovalent cation, multivalent cation, anion, and dual‐ion transfer is covered. This Review aims to promote the understanding of halide‐based materials to stimulate further research and development in the area of high‐performance rechargeable batteries. It also offers a perspective on the exploration of new materials and systems for electrochemical energy storage.

“…On the one hand, the formation of a passivation film generated from dissolved corrosive polysulfides as well as continuous lithium erosion is critically limiting the performance of Li–S cells . On the other hand, lithium‐based batteries display some safety issues, such as the uncontrolled formation of lithium dendrites, which bear the potential to pierce the separators and to lead to short microcircuits . At the same time, lithium dendrites tend to dissolve in the local region and detach from lithium anodes, resulting in delithiation and formation of “dead” lithium.…”

abundant metal on earth. [19] In view of these merits and the high abundance of sulfur, increasing interest has been raised on post Li-S battery systems, including magnesium-selenium batteries, Mg-S batteries, which display higher energy density, low costs and improved safety in comparison to Li-S batteries. [11,[20][21][22][23] Despite the advantages of Mg-S batteries, major issues in this field are related to the severe overcharge behavior and low sulfur utilization of the cathode during charging and discharging in general, the formation of magnesium polysulfides and the slow diffusion of Mg 2+ , which all result in poor electrochemical behavior. [17,22,24,25] Substantial efforts have been made to improve cell performance so far, including the modification of cathode materials, anodes and separators, [25] the synthesis of novel electrolyte systems, [24,26] which all to some extent can improve the cell behavior. Figure 1d gives a timeline of all the novel findings in the area of Mg-S batteries in each year. Figure 1b demonstrates an overview of the topics addressed in the published research articles in Mg-S batteries. According to this survey, the research community developed a strong preference for investigating novel electrolyte systems, modifying sulfur cathode materials and carrying out mechanistic studies. By contrast, only few research groups devoted their work to the other components of a Mg-S battery, such as the anode and the separator. Major improvements related to the latter two will also be thoroughly discussed in the following sections.Several reviews already discussed the developments in Mg batteries based on intercalation cathode materials. [1,15,[27][28][29][30] By contrast, accounts on Mg batteries containing a sulfur-based conversion cathode, which benefits from high theoretical energy density, a reasonable potential difference with Mg, nontoxicity and high earth abundance [11,31,32] are rare. This review solely refers to Mg-S batteries that use sulfur-based conversion cathodes.The purposes of this review are to summarize and highlight the most up-to-date and novel findings for Mg-S batteries, addressing sulfur-based conversion cathodes and Mg anode materials, separator modifications as well as various electrolyte systems. Furthermore, since the research on Mg-S batteries is still at an initial stage, some challenges, including the capacity decay mechanism, a lack of suitable electrolyte systems and the passivation of the Mg anode, which so far impedes any superior electrochemical performance in Mg-S batteries, will also be addressed. In addition, we also listed and discussed some possible future prospects for high energy Mg-S batteries. Finally, the currently reported Mg-S systems have been summarized in a table for easy comparison.This review on rechargeable Mg-S batteries is arranged in the following sequences. In the first section, currently applied anode materials (various forms of Mg anodes) and prospective anodes are discussed. Next, various sulfur-based conversion cathodes, which mainly...
