Popis: A magnesium battery is a promising candidate for large-scale transportation and stationary energy storage due to the security, low cost, abundance, and high volumetric energy density of a Mg anode. But there are still some obstacles retarding the wide application of Mg batteries, including poor kinetics of Mg-ion transport in lattices and low theoretical capacity in inorganic frameworks. A Mg–Li dual-salt electrolyte enables kinetic activation by dominant intercalation of Li-ions instead of Mg-ions in cathode lattices without the compromise of a stable Mg anode process. Here we propose a Mg–organic battery based on a renewable rhodizonate salt (e.g., Na2C6O6) activated by a Mg–Li dual-salt electrolyte. The nanostructured organic system can achieve a high reversible capacity of 350–400 mAh/g due to the existence of high-density carbonyl groups (C═O) as redox sites. Nanocrystalline Na2C6O6 wired by reduced graphene oxide enables a high-rate performance of 200 and 175 mAh/g at 2.5 (5 C) and 5 A/g (10 C), res...
