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 .
Lithium-ion batteries represent the vast majority of the current market and research space; however, this boom cannot continue indefinitely due to the rarity of lithium (and cobalt). A trend in the research space toward lithium-free battery alternatives can already be observed.
