Abstract

A Novel electrolyte solution for mixed binary organic solvents has been designed for a rechargeable magnesium-ion battery. The electrolyte is made up of 1,4,4-dioxane and acetonitrile, as well as a magnesium perchlorate salt (Mg(C1O4)2). For their physico-chemical functions of viscosity, dielectric constant, conductivity, and voltage reading, the mixtures were prepared and characterized using analytical instrumental methods such as a viscometer, voltage analyzer, temperature regulator, ammeter, conductivity meter, dielectric analyzer, pycknometer, and suffix meter.  At 25oC, the conductivity of the electrolyte demonstrated a broad electrochemical stability and an improved property of the mixture over pure solvents. Based on the inter-ionic interactions of the binary system, the mixing ratio of 1, 4, 4-dioxane and acetonitrile for optimal battery performance is established between 55-65% 1,4-dioxane for the battery system because the maximum conductivity and voltage readings were obtained at this range. The temperatures investigated reveal that even at high temperatures, the battery remains stable. Because of its high energy rechargeable density, durability, low toxicity, ecological mildility, and high conductivity, research on 1,4-dioxane and acetonitrile utilized as an electrolyte for an energy source has given rise to its efficiency over the long-existing aqueous acids. The electrolyte system of 1,4-dioxane and acetonitrile is a novel binary mixture that has been shown to deliver high energies of various capacities or voltages that can be used in household, small, and medium-scale industries. The primary goal of this research was to determine the best performance of this electrolyte system. Impedance, greater ionic transport mobilities for enhanced capacity, and voltage can all be examined further.
