Recently featured in Science Advances under the title "Next-generation magnesium-ion batteries: The quasi-solid-state approach to multivalent metal ion storage," the new Mg-ion battery has the potential to revolutionize the industry. “It is a game-changing development,” stated Professor Leung.
Though still under development, magnesium-ion batteries show promise in achieving similar volumetric and specific capacities to lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, magnesium is substantially more abundant than lithium, allowing for the batteries to be cheaper and more sustainable.
Early tests have shown that with a sulfur cathode, a magnesium-ion battery can achieve 1000 mAh/g. 20 Given that most EVs are space and weight constrained, the use of magnesium-ion batteries could potentially increase the range of the vehicle.
Moreover, the battery must be disposed of, another energy intensive process with a non-trivial environmental impact. Magnesium-ion batteries have the opportunity to improve on lithium-ion batteries on every phase of the lifecycle. First, magnesium is eight times more abundant than lithium on the earth’s crust.
Batteries are the prime technology responsible for large-scale, sustainable energy storage. Manifesting the appropriate materials for a magnesium-ion battery system will ultimately result in a feasible product that is suitable to challenge its conventional lithium-ion counterpart.
This paper discusses the current state-of-the-art of magnesium-ion batteries with a particular emphasis on the material selection. Although, current research indicates that sulfur-based cathodes coupled with a (HMDS) 2 Mg-based electrolyte shows substantial promise, other options could allow for a better performing battery.
