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. This wastes electrolyte, drying out the battery over time. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). Earlier post.)
