Removing barriers to commercialization of magnesium secondary batteries

A research team led by Dr. Minah Lee of the Energy Storage Research Center at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a chemical activation strategy of magnesium metal that enables efficient operation of magnesium batteries in common electrolytes that are free of corrosive additives, and can be mass-produced. The research is published in the journal ACS Nano.
