Magnesium-based batteries represent one of the successfully emerging electrochemical energy storage chemistries, mainly due to the high theoretical volumetric capacity of metallic magnesium (i.e., 3833 mAh cm−3 vs. 2046 mAh cm−3 for lithium), its low reduction potential (−2.37 V vs. SHE), abundance in the Earth''s crust (104 times higher than that of
The use of magnesium is encouraged owing to its good air stability, lower reduction potential (−2.356 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), higher volumetric specific capacity (3833 mAh∙cm −3), and dendrite-free deposition upon cycling.
Magnesium is earth abundant, has a high volumetric capacity (3,833 mAh mL −1) twice that of Li metal, and a low reduction potential of −2.4 V versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). 1, 2, 3 In addition, Mg deposition tends to form uniform structures and smooth surfaces rather than highly dendritic structures as seen in lithium and sodium deposition. 4, 5
