Lean Electrolyte design is a game-changer for Magnesium Batteries


Directing Mg-Storage Chemistry in Organic Polymers toward High-Energy Mg BatteriesJoule, 2018; DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2018.11.022

Chloride-free electrolyte and organic cathode boosted energy density, stability. Researchers from the University of Houston and the Toyota Research Institute of America have discovered a promising new version of high-energy magnesium batteries, with potential applications ranging from electric vehicles to battery storage for renewable energy systems.

The battery, reported Dec. 21 in Joule, is the first reported to operate with limited electrolytes while using an organic electrode, a change the researchers said allows it to store and discharge far more energy than earlier magnesium batteries...
