KIST team develops activation strategy for magnesium metal enabling efficient operation of Mg batteries

Green Car Congress

Despite these advantages, the difficulty of efficiently charging and discharging magnesium metal due to its reactivity with electrolytes has hindered its commercialization. The highest energy density can be obtained by directly utilizing magnesium metal as a anode, of which volumetric capacity is about 1.9 times higher than lithium metal.

KIT/IIT team demonstrates suitability of high-entropy oxides (HEO) as conversion materials for reversible energy storage

Green Car Congress

Novel materials can considerably improve storage capacity and cycling stability of rechargeable batteries. Recently, a new class of oxide systems, also known as high entropy oxides (HEO), was formulated and reported with first demonstrations for transition-metal-based HEO (TM-HEO), rare-earth-based HEO (RE-HEO) and mixed HEO (TM-RE-HEO).
