This thesis examines the electrochemistry of magnesiumion systems by
modifying the Lewis acidbase pair to improve the stability and performance of
magnesium electrolytes. It specifically focuses on two novel approaches aimed at
improving non-Grignard magnesium electrolytes oxidative stability and reducing
corrosion in stainless steel systems. The work discusses the surface
modification of carbon electrodes and the use of molybdenum-oxo complexes for
proton reduction. It concludes in discussions toward future prospects in
magnesium-ion electrochemistry, especially for high-performance energy storage
systems.
