"universal cation replacement prepares low-cost, high-reversibility magnesium and calcium electrolytes derived from zinc organoborate solvation... suppresses continuous solvent decomposition, maintains stable battery cycling... 53.4 Wh kg−1 high-loading battery based on Mg/S containing 30 μm Mg anode, low electrolyte/ sulfur ratio (E/S = 5.58 μl mg−1) and modified separator/interlayer... cheaper electrolyte, greater energy density"
