Abstract:
An alkaline primary Mg-air battery made from a porous Mg thin film displayed superior discharge performances, including a flat discharge plateau, a high open-circuit voltage of 1.41 V and a large discharge capacity of 821 mAh g(-1), suggesting that the electrochemical performances of Mg-air batteries can be improved by controlling the Mg anode morphology.
