In order to gain a deeper understanding of Li and Mg polysulphides in Li/S and Mg/S batteries, respectively, this work investigates the impact of the two different cations as well as the influence of the electrolyte solvents' relative dielectric permittivity and Gutmann's donor number on the solubility and relative stability of different Li and Mg polysulphide species. Therefore, the disproportionation and dissociation equilibria of chemically prepared “Li2S8” and “MgS8” solutions in DMSO, DMF, ACN, THF, DME, TEGDME, and Pyr14TFSI are characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Varying the cation and the solvent reveals their mutual interplay in stabilizing different polysulphide species. To our knowledge, this is the first time that chemically synthesized Mg polysulphides in solutions are studied. The results of this work provide essential knowledge for further development of the economically, ecologically, and also in terms of energy density and safety, attractive Mg/S batteries.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
