Learn MoreIndeed, the portfolio of magnesium battery electrolytes has widened and we hope that the current research will fuel the next wave of innovations. This could be driven by further understanding of the properties of the electrolytes and their behavior in a battery system.
Over the past two decades, the technical advancements made on magnesium battery electrolytes resulted in state of the art systems that primarily consist of organohalo-aluminate complexes possessing electrochemical properties that rival those observed in lithium ion batteries.
Inspired by the first rechargeable magnesium battery prototype at the dawn of the 21st century, several research groups have embarked on a quest to realize its full potential. Despite the technical accomplishments made thus far, challenges, on the material level, hamper the realization of a practical rechargeable magnesium battery.
Magnesium is much more abundant and less costly than lithium, which would help further sustainable energy storage. Now, the Waterloo team is one step closer to bringing magnesium batteries to reality, which could be more cost-friendly and sustainable than the lithium-ion versions currently available.
“We hope our work will open up a door for us, or someone else, to discover and develop the right positive electrode that will complete the magnesium battery puzzle.” Their research, “A Dynamically Bare Metal Interface Enables Reversible Magnesium Electrodeposition at 50 mAh cm-2,” was published in Joule on Dec. 6.
Since demonstrating the first rechargeable magnesium battery, magnesium metal has been viewed as an attractive battery anode due to the desirable traits outlined in the Introduction.
