| Abstract Scope |
A key objective in advancing new energy storage technologies, including next-generation battery systems. Among the various options explored, Magnesium-air batteries have emerged as highly promising due to their energy density, durability, environmental friendliness, low weight, cost efficiency, and specific power. Despite these benefits, a substantial scientific and technological gap remains in fully utilizing Mg alloys as anodes in metal-air batteries. The primary issues include rapid self-corrosion in aqueous electrolytes, slow anodic and cathodic kinetics, and undesirable side reactions. This study presents practical solutions for the future implementation of magnesium as an anode material in magnesium–air batteries, integrating alloy development, chemical modification of the aqueous electrolyte, and improvements in overall cell performance. The relationships between alloy composition, electrolyte formulation, and the control of undesirable side reactions, providing a comprehensive framework for enhancing the efficiency and viability of magnesium–air battery systems, will be discussed in detail |
