2nd International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries

27-28 September 2018,
Maritim Hotel,
in Ulm, Germany

 

Magnesium batteries have attracted considerable attention
by international research activities, because
magnesium offers a number of attractive features for
future batteries. The metal anode has nearly double
the volumetric capacity of lithium metal, at a negative
reduction potential of -2.37 Vs SHE. Moreover,
a significant advantage of magnesium is the lack of
dendrite formation during charging, which overcomes
major safety challenges encountered with using
lithium metal anodes. Several breakthroughs were
achieved and important progress has been made in
the last years, in particular in the development of
electrolytes with mild chemistry and high efficiency
and in the development of first conversion and intercalation-
type cathodes. First fundamental studies
have elucidated mechanisms of Mg intercalation or
chemical interaction of the electrolyte with the electrodes.

The 2nd International Symposium on Magnesium
Batteries
 addresses the research community in
this rapidly growing field. It is the aim of the symposium
to present and discuss the recent state-ofthe
art and the progress in the field. There will be
enough time for discussion of questions or controversial
issues in the topic.
