Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>GHz broadband electrical spectroscopy (G‐BES) is adopted to investigate the molecular relaxations and interactions occurring within the system in an oxygen‐ and water‐free atmosphere in the 300 kHz–20 GHz and −40 to 250 °C frequency and temperature ranges, respectively. A new electrolyte for magnesium secondary batteries that can transfer magnesium ions efficiently is presented. This electrolyte is based on polyethylene glycol 400 and a polymeric form of δ‐MgCl₂. The information obtained by G‐BES is crucial for studying the conduction mechanism of these new electrolytes.</p> </abstract>
