Presenter: Piotr Jankowski Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnesium battery technology is one of the promising\npost-lithium technology, that has potential to reduce our lithium dependence\nand at the same time outperform current Li-ion technology. Magnesium is more abundant,\nhence cheaper, and comes with promises of higher energy density and lower\ntendency to dendrite formation \u2013 possibility of metallic anode application.\nHigher safety, together with easier recycling process, in respect to lithium,\ngive environmental friendliness and sustainability to this technology and\nresult overall in a very attractive set of properties. Unfortunately, several\nchallenges come along with replacement of lithium by magnesium, and need to be\nresolved prior to successful commercialization of this technology: low\ndiffusion of Mg-ions inside host materials; low potential of cathode materials;\naggregation of ions inside Mg-based electrolytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rational design of new materials is necessary and DFT\ncalculations are shown to provide valuable support in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Full list of posters<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
