Rechargeable magnesium batteries are of great interest as potential “beyond Li-ion” systems for extended electric vehicle range. Toyota, for one, has been pursuing Mg batteries at the research level for a number of years. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ).
