RESUMEN
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) a strong candidate to set off the second-generation energy storage boom due to their double charge transfer and dendrite-free advantages. However, the strong coulombic force and the huge diffusion energy barrier between Mg2+ and the electrode material have led to need for a cathode material that can enable the rapid and reversible de-insertion of Mg2+. So far, researchers have found that the sulfur-converted cathode materials have a greater application prospect due to the advantages of low price and high specific capacity, etc. Based on these advantages, it is possible to achieve the goal of increasing the magnesium storage capacity and cycling stability by reasonable modification of crystal or morphology. In this review, we focus on the application of a variety of sulfur-converted cathode materials in MIBs in recent years from the perspective of microstructural design, and provide an outlook on current challenges and future development.
