The quest for efficient and durable battery technologies is one of the
key challenges for enabling the transition to renewable energy
economies. Magnesium batteries, and in particular rechargeable
non-aqueous systems, are an area of extensive opportunity and intense
research. Rechargeable magnesium batteries hold numerous advantages over
current lithium-ion batteries, namely the relative abundance of
magnesium to lithium and the potential for magnesium batteries to
greatly outperform their Li-ion counterparts. Magnesium Batteries
comprehensively outlines the scientific and technical challenges in the
field, covering anodes, cathodes, electrolytes and particularly
promising systems such as the Mg-S cell. Edited by a leading figure in
the field of electrochemical energy storage, with contributions from
global experts, this book is a vital resource for students and
researchers at all levels. Whether entering into the subject for the
first time or extending their knowledge of battery materials across
chemistry, physics, energy, engineering and materials science this book
provides an ideal reference for anyone interested in the
state-of-the-art and future of magnesium batteries.
