Cellulose acetate network via ion pre-anchored strategy for simultaneous regulation of uniform Mg2+ flux and ion conductivity

Hybrid Li Mg batteries stand out by combining the rapid lithium diffusion kinetics and the advantages of magnesium. However, the uneven Mg deposits may result in continuous parasitic reactions and penetrate the separator. Herein, cellulose acetate (CA), with functional groups, was applied to engineer coordination with MOFs and construct the evenly-distributed and ample nucleation sites. Moreover, the hierarchical MOFs@CA network was fabricated via the metal ion pre-anchored strategy to regulate the uniform Mg 2+ flux and improve ion-conductivity simultaneously. Furthermore, the hierarchical CA networks with well-ordered MOFs provided efficient MOF-to-MOF ion-transportation channels and served as ion sieves to inhibit anion transportation, thereby mitigating polarization. The super dendrite-inhibition and interfacial compatibility was confirmed and the assembled Mo 6 S 8 //Mg batteries exhibited high capacity about 105 mAh g −1 and capacity decay of 4 % after 600 cycles at 30 C, which surpassed the state-of-the-art LMBs system employing Mo 6 S 8 electrode. The fabricated GPE sheds fresh strategy for the design of CA-based GPEs and bright light on the promise of high-performance LMBs.
