Abstract
An electrochemical device, having an anode containing magnesium; a cathode stable to a voltage of at least 3.2 V relative to a magnesium reference; and an electrolyte obtained by admixture of a magnesium salt of a non-nucleophilic base comprising nitrogen and aluminum trichloride in an ether solvent is provided. As sulfur is stable to a voltage of at least 3.2 V relative to a magnesium reference, a magnesium-sulfur electrochemical device is specifically provided.
