This expert volume addresses the practical challenges which have so
far inhibited the commercial realization of a rechargeable
magnesium battery, placing the discussion within the context of the
already established lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are
becoming commonplace in most power applications, starting with
portable electronics and expanding to motor vehicles, stationary
storage, and backup power. Since their introduction 25 years ago,
they have slowly been replacing all other battery chemistries. As
the technology has matured, it is nearing its theoretical limits in
terms of energy density, so research and development worldwide is
quickly shifting towards the study of new battery chemistries with
cheaper components and higher energy densities. A very popular
battery candidate which has generated a lot of recent interest is
the magnesium rechargeable battery. Magnesium is five orders of
magnitude more abundant than lithium, can move two electrons per
cation, and is known to plate smoothly without any evidence of
dendritic growth. However, many challenges remain to be overcome.
This essential volume presents an unfiltered view on both the
realistic promises and significant obstacles for this technology,
providing key insights and proposed solutions.
