A high energy-density tin anode for rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries

摘要

A high energy-density Sn anode capable of displaying superior operating voltages and capacity, for rechargeable Mg-ion batteries, is highlighted. The intended application and performance of the anode is confirmed by coupling it with a Mo_6S_8 cathode in a conventional battery electrolyte. Over the last few decades, the automobile industry has begun focusing on alternative technologies to traditional combustion engines, which currently utilize carbon based fossil fuels. The introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) via the use of such alternative technologies (e.g. batteries) as stand-alone or tandem energy sources is slowly revolutionizing the face of the automobile industry.
