KIST team develops activation strategy for magnesium metal enabling efficient operation of Mg batteries

Green Car Congress

Despite these advantages, the difficulty of efficiently charging and discharging magnesium metal due to its reactivity with electrolytes has hindered its commercialization. The highest energy density can be obtained by directly utilizing magnesium metal as a anode, of which volumetric capacity is about 1.9 times higher than lithium metal.

UC Riverside team develops new coating strategy for Li-metal anodes to prevent dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

For these purposes, many high-capacity cathode (including Li−sulfur and Li−air) and anode materials (Li metal, silicon, tin, and metal oxide) have recently re-emerged. Among these materials, Li metal is the ideal anode material for rechargeable Li batteries due to its various advantages including low redox potential (−3.04 6b05475.
