A good battery material should have a low molar mass. There is a relationship between the number of moles of a substance and the amount of charge it can store, and according to Faraday’s law, the more moles of a substance, the more electrons it can store. Therefore, the lower the molar mass, the better.

The most studied batteries of this type is the Zinc-air and Li-air battery. Other metals have been used, such as Mg and Al, but these are only known as primary cells, and so are beyond the scope of this article.
The commercially dominant metal, iron, doesn’t have the right electrochemical properties for an efficient battery, he says. But the second-most-abundant metal in the marketplace—and actually the most abundant metal on Earth—is aluminum.
In spite of its seemingly dendrite free nature, magnesium metal is probably one of the most difficult battery materials to work with. Like all of the metal surfaces, it is highly reactive, and most electrolytes spontaneously decompose on to form a “solid electrolyte interphase” or SEI .
