Magnesium-Bismuth System: Thermodynamic Properties and Prospects for Use in Magnesium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

Along with large-scale studies of promising electrode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, in the past 10–15 years there has been interest in rechargeable batteries with magnesium anode and in magnesium-ion batteries. Bismuth shows promise as a material for the negative electrode of magnesium-ion batteries. The review summarizes the data on the thermodynamic properties of magnesium-bismuth alloys and on possible use of bismuth or bismuth alloys in magnesium-ion batteries.
