A recent survey of magnesium sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems installed on Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) pipelines in 1998 revealed that many of the anodes had failed prematurely and ...

Most of the batteries we use these days, whether rechargeable or not, are generally self-contained affairs. They come in a sealed package, with the anode, cathode, and electrolyte all wrapped up ...

Magnesium is a promising battery material because of its high energy-storage capacity and its safety profile, making it particularly attractive for powering electric vehicles. Practical magnesium ...

Energy diversification is necessary for global sustainability and the minimization of industrial and automotive pollution. Low-cost, high energy density batteries utilizing environmentally friendly ...

Achieving high-performance anodes relies on the coupled effects of interfacial electric fields and controllable deposition morphology. Previous strategies, such as interface modification, structural ...

Scientists have pioneered a method to enable the reversible chemistry of magnesium metal in the noncorrosive carbonate-based electrolytes and tested the concept in a prototype cell. The technology ...

Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy densities. For example, in magnesium (Mg) metal batteries, instead of starting ...

Despite their popular use today, lithium-ion batteries have the drawbacks of being toxic and expensive, with a global supply shortage of metal. And for decades, researchers have tried to look for ...
