Metallic Magnesium Nano/Mesoscale Structures: Their Shape‐Controlled Preparation and Mg/Air Battery Applications

Abstract

Magnesium nano/mesostructures with spherical, platelike, rodlike, and sea-urchin-like shapes are prepared by a simple and efficient vapor-transport method. They exhibit excellent electrochemical properties in Mg/air batteries. The figure shows discharge curves of the Mg/air batteries made from two samples, at a constant current of 0.5 mA and a temperature of 25 °C.
