Our >99.99% Magnesium Chloride hydrate, with low impurities, and solubility in water, is suitable for various applications. Example:Magnesium Chloride, is well-suited for use in magnesium batteries, particularly in the production of MgTFSI₂/MgCl₂ (DME) electrolyte solutions. These solutions have been found to effectively dissolve a substantial amount of magnesium chloride, resulting in enhanced electrochemical performance, notably in terms of reversibility.[[2]] Other studies have indicated that the synthesis of MgTFSI₂/MgCl₂/DME electrolyte has led to the development of the first rechargeable Mg/S batteries with exceptional cycling stability, achieved by mitigating polysulfide dissolution. The battery is reported to primarily operate through S0/MgSx redox processes. [[3]] It has been reported that the significance of Magnesium chloride, in the formulation of a concentrated Mg(HMDS)₂/MgCl₂ solution in THF electrolyte lies in its pivotal role in enabling a reverse Schlenk equilibrium. This unique preparation method facilitates the reversible deposition and dissolution of magnesium, broadening the electrochemical range and achieving an impressive coulombic efficiency of 99%. Moreover, the exceptional solubility of MgCl₂ in THF, bolstered by the presence of Mg(HMDS)₂, contributes to the electrolyte′s outstanding performance in terms of high reversible capacities and robust rate capabilities. This underscores the vital importance of MgCl₂ in offering a novel approach for the advancement of magnesium electrolytes. [[4]]Furthermore,Magnesium chloride, is not only essential for batteries but also serves as a catalyst in olefin polymerization. It plays a critical role as a fundamental component in Ziegler-Natta catalysts employed for olefin polymerization. The presence of magnesium chloride is instrumental in facilitating the polymerization process, thereby enabling the production of diverse olefin-based polymers.[[5]]

Our Magnesium Chloride hydrate, with a purity of ≥99.99%, is an excellent choice as a source for Magnesium electrolytes for batteries. Its properties and high purity make it highly suitable for Solar Energy Storage in Phase Change Materials for next-generation concentrating solar power (CSP) systems.[[6]]
