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 containing an electrochemically active magnesium salt obtained by mixing an organic magnesium compound with an aluminum compound in an ether solvent and separation of the electrochemically active salt from the reaction mixture is provided. The separated electrochemically active salt is stable and safe to handle in comparison to conventional Grignard based electrolyte systems.
