Charge–discharge profiles of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4. Moreover, the terrestrial abundance and melting point of elemental magnesium by far surpass that of lithium, translating to a cheap and safe battery system. Remarkably, MgFeSiO 4 prepared via ion exchange undergoes reversible electrochemical charge-discharge processes.

A recent study from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) looks at molten-salt batteries that can “freeze” their charge for months until required. He expects the battery to retain over 80% of its charge in that period. The current melting point of 157ºC of NaAlCl 4 is higher than the researchers would like.
