The day-to-day price of magnesium averages about $5,000 USD per ton—about half the cost of lithium. Beyond being cheaper, magnesium-based batteries would also be safer.
Magnesium air batteries, both primary and rechargeable, show great promise. In this study, we will concentrate on the fundamentals of Mg-air cell electrode reaction kinetics.
Magnesium (Mg) batteries theoretically contain almost twice as much energy per volume as lithium-ion batteries.

Taking all together, the state of art results demonstrate that the development of a magnesium battery of species I is a very difficult target, as it requires electrolytes able to reconcile the “ Devil” (anode) with the “ Holy Water ” (cathode) electrochemistry.
Inspired by the first rechargeable magnesium battery prototype at the dawn of the 21st century, several research groups have embarked on a quest to realize its full potential. Despite the technical accomplishments made thus far, challenges, on the material level, hamper the realization of a practical rechargeable magnesium battery.
Since demonstrating the first rechargeable magnesium battery, magnesium metal has been viewed as an attractive battery anode due to the desirable traits outlined in the Introduction.
Magnesium batteries are one of the alternative technologies. Magnesium metal is an attractive anode due to the high abundance of magnesium and its volumetric capacity of 3833 mAh cm −3 and gravimetric capacity of 2205 mAh g −1 combined with a low redox potential (−2.37 V vs. SHE).
Over the past two decades, the technical advancements made on magnesium battery electrolytes resulted in state of the art systems that primarily consist of organohalo-aluminate complexes possessing electrochemical properties that rival those observed in lithium ion batteries.
Magnesium thus has few potential benefits over lithium when it comes to availability and cost. However, it is well known that the practical capacity and gravimetric energy density of magnesium based secondary battery system can never surpass its counterpart lithium ion based battery system at the current state of development.
