Magnesium batteries are batteries that utilize magnesium cations as charge carriers and possibly in the anode in electrochemical cells. Both non-rechargeable primary cell and rechargeable secondary cell chemistries have been investigated.
Recently featured in Science Advances under the title "Next-generation magnesium-ion batteries: The quasi-solid-state approach to multivalent metal ion storage," the new Mg-ion battery has the potential to revolutionize the industry. “It is a game-changing development,” stated Professor Leung.
Magnesium secondary cell batteries are an active research topic as a possible replacement or improvement over lithium-ion–based battery chemistries in certain applications. A significant advantage of magnesium cells is their use of a solid magnesium anode, offering energy density higher than lithium batteries.
Developing novel cathode structures and efficient bifunctional catalysts is crucial for increasing the discharge voltage and enhancing battery power also a key factor in determining whether magnesium–air batteries can replace lithium batteries as mainstream next–generation energy storage devices.
For example, a water-activated silver chloride/magnesium reserve battery became commercially available by 1943. The magnesium dry battery type BA-4386 was fully commercialised, with costs per unit approaching that of zinc batteries. Compared to equivalent zinc-carbon cells they had greater capacity by volume, and longer shelf life.
A magnesium–air battery has a theoretical operating voltage of 3.1 V and energy density of 6.8 kWh/kg. General Electric produced a magnesium–air battery operating in neutral NaCl solution as early as the 1960s. The magnesium–air battery is a primary cell, but has the potential to be 'refuelable' by replacement of the anode and electrolyte.

Magnesium-Ion Battery Chemistry Makes a Bid
Waterloo Magnesium-Ion Battery Substitutes Lithium Chemistry. The Waterloo University model uses magnesium, instead of lithium battery chemistry. However, early examples going back as far as 2020 failed to produce a voltage to match lithium-ion. Other than that, magnesium was far more abundant and less expensive too, and so interest lingered.
