A magnesium–sulfur battery is a rechargeable battery that uses magnesium ions as its charge carrier, magnesium metal as its anode, and sulfur as its cathode. To increase the electronic conductivity of the cathode, sulfur is usually mixed with carbon to form a cathode composite. The magnesium–sulfur battery is an emerging energy storage technology and is now still in the stage of research. It is of great interest since in theory the Mg/S chemistry can provide 1722 Wh/kg energy density with a voltage at ~1.7 V.
