The high abundance and large volumetric capacity of the metal anode make rechargeable magnesium batteries potential candidates for future battery technologies. While understanding and controlling the electrode-electrolyte interface is essential for battery performance, there is often little known about the underlying atomistic interface structure under operating conditions [1].
To address this issue for the case of Mg, we study single crystalline magnesium surfaces in contact with standard Grignard electrolytes and under applied potential [2]. We employ reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) as an optical, high-resolution technique for the operando investigation of the interfacial structure as a function of the applied electrode potential. The Mg-crystal surface is studied in various solvents and Grignard electrolytes during voltammetric cycling. Finally, we seek comparison to theoretical spectra obtained within the random phase approximation.
