The eu actively promoted the lithium magnesium battery research and development to reduce dependence on raw materials

Ulm, Germany helmholtz institute and karlsruhe institute of technology are jointly develop magnesium based energy storage technologies. Magnesium battery is the eu & other; Outlook 2020 & throughout; Scientific research projects under the plan, the eu has invested more than 6. 5 million euros, for this brings together European 10 scientific research institution of professional technology, the future of the project such as success, is expected to replace the existing lithium-ion batteries.

magnesium battery compared with the traditional lithium-ion batteries have more advantages. According to the institute of helmholtz ulm, deputy director of the project director maxi milly & middot; Professor fichte, magnesium is one of the important candidate materials after lithium strategy, magnesium as anode material, allowed to have a high energy density, magnesium battery than lithium ion battery energy storage is more efficient, cheaper, more secure, & other; Magnesium battery widespread availability, to promote the development of electric cars and distributed energy storage technology has a decisive role throughout the &; 。

ulm helmholtz institute and karlsruhe institute of technology and the German aerospace center E - such as cooperation MAGIC items, to carry out research and design of the concept of magnesium battery electrochemistry. Ulm helmholtz institute scientists hope to help partners to understand the material aspects of the obstacles and challenges, and find a new way to solve the current obstacles.

is responsible for the coordination of solid state chemistry research, said Dr Zhi-rong zhao magnesium battery special challenge is to use life, this is the need to focus on the content of the research. But magnesium battery does have many attractive features, for example, magnesium anode won't form dendritic crystal, electrode on the electrochemistry of sediment in the lithium ion battery can be formed acicular structure, cause interference and even short circuit, and magnesium is not similar problems, that is why we can use metal magnesium, in the form of direct use of magnesium can increase the storage capacity of battery, improve the performance of the battery.

in addition to safety and higher energy density, lithium magnesium on the earth than about 3000 times more rich, more simple and recycling. Therefore, magnesium battery is much cheaper than lithium ion battery, also helps to reduce dependence on lithium raw materials in the battery.

as the eu make progress in the development of magnesium battery, will also help to reduce dependence on Asian battery manufacturers, and establish competitive battery manufacturing in Europe.

system design aspects, such as tension rope light system, the use of such prefabricated technology can solve the problem of rapid assembly, saving material and solve the labor costs of assembling, in addition to a massive system is still in patent filing stage building blocks the way, will soon put a plant, both in the roof and the ground can hold.
