Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have emerged as a highly promising post-lithium battery systems owing to their high safety, the abundant Magnesium (Mg) resources, and superior energy density. Nevertheless, the sluggish kinetics has severely limited the performance of RMBs.
Magnesium batteries have been talked up quite a bit since the early 2000s. They dropped off the CleanTechnica radar about five years ago, but some key advances are beginning to crop up, and now would be a good time to catch up (see our magnesium archive here).
“The theoretical energy density [of magnesium batteries] is at least comparable to lithium-ion batteries, and there is the potential to realize a higher energy density than lithium because there are double the electrons for every individual magnesium ion, compared to lithium,” he said.
This strategy provides insights into accelerating Mg-ion storage kinetics, achieving a promising performance of RMBs especially at high specific current. Rechargeable magnesium batteries offer safety, abundance, and high energy density but are limited by sluggish kinetics.
To prevent passivation at the Mg anode, most rechargeable Mg-ion battery studies use nonaqueous liquid electrolytes composed of complex salts and organic solvents (8 – 12). However, the poor conductivity of organic Mg-ion electrolytes restricts their diffusion kinetics and requires high temperature to maintain battery performance (13).
