“MagBatt”: Ulm conference discusses magnesium as a new battery raw material

September 23rd, 2024

The 5th “International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries” (MagBatt V) took place from September 18 to 20, 2024 in Ulm, Germany. Once again we were able to welcome some of the best battery researchers on the topic of multivalent batteries. 
 

The conference program included papers on magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminum batteries and aimed to present and discuss the current progress in the field of post-lithium batteries. Multivalent batteries based on magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminum offer an interesting alternative in terms of the amount of energy that can be delivered, safety, manufacturing and disposal costs and limited environmental impact. 
 

Nearly 100 battery experts, including speakers from China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the USA, met in Ulm for three days to discuss current trends and developments in post-lithium batteries. 
 

The International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries (MagBatt) has attracted researchers from all over the world since its inception in 2016. This year’s program included a total of 37 lectures and one poster session.
