Abstract

Abstract : We synthesized and studied the dimensionality of Mg(B3 H8 )2, a controversial intermediate in the thermal decomposition of Mg(BH4 )2, furthemore, the high cationic mobility making it a promising candidate as a solid electrolyte in magnesium batteries. Abstract : Mg(B3 H8 )2 is a crucial reaction intermediate in the thermal decomposition of the hydrogen storage material Mg(BH4 )2 and is discussed as a potential solid-state Mg-ion conductor. We successfully synthesized unsolvated Mg(B3 H8 )2 and highlight that Mg(B3 H8 )2 exists mainly as a low-dimensional solid. In addition, the Mg 2+ conductivity was evaluated to be 1.4.10 −4 S cm −1 at 80 °C.
