Magnesium-ion electric vehicle batteries may become a replacement for lithium batteries

Recently, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have taken another step in the research of electric vehicle batteries, and the research team's electric vehicle batteries made of magnesium ions may outperform lithium-ion battery electric vehicles
.

Jordi Cabana, the lead researcher in academic chemistry, said that because magnesium is an ion that carries two positive charges, using magnesium ions as a battery material will touch twice as many electrons
.
This work opens a reliable design path
for high-voltage, high-energy batteries.

Cabana pointed out that studies have confirmed that magnesium can be reversibly inserted into the structure of the electrode material, which brings us closer to the magnesium-ion battery prototype
.
The research is still not a true magnesium-ion battery, just part of it, but you will find the same reaction
in a later completed device.
