The chemical current sources with a magnesium anode: Electrode materials and their properties

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of creating chemical current sources with a magnesium anode. The work presents the continuation of the analysis of conventional current sources with high specific characteristics. The article describes the types of cathode-active substances that have potential possibility in making chemical current sources with a magnesium anode or an anode based on magnesium intermetallic compounds. A detailed analysis of publications on the use of the selected systems for making competitive chemical current sources is given, discharge and discharge-charge curves are presented and the specific characteristics of the studied systems are calculated. The necessary conclusions on the application of selected electrochemical systems with a magnesium anode have been made.
