A Trip to Oz and a Peak Behind the Curtain of Magnesium Batteries
Patrick Bonnick, John Muldoon
Abstract
Abstract The introduction of the Li‐ion battery has revolutionized the electronics industry due to its high energy density. Magnesium batteries may have the potential to exceed the energy densities of Li‐ion batteries. Herein, the major advancements in magnesium electrochemistry and the challenges that must be overcome to realize a practical magnesium battery are discussed. So too are the controversial realities of current magnesium battery research and their implications.
