JCESR team identifies new mechanism hampering Mg-ion batteries; unforeseen reactivity

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are of great interest as potential “beyond Li-ion” systems for extended electric vehicle range. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). As an element, magnesium is more abundant than lithium, and more stable. Earlier post.)

The lithium-ion battery comprises 168 prismatic cells and is liquid-cooled. Its emphasis is on lithium-ion battery systems, which are put together using a flexible, modular concept. Hydrogen is supplied to the anode, where it is broken down into protons and electrons. With a capacity of 17.3 kWh, it allows a 56 kilometer (34.8
