Experimental visualization of reversible magnesium storage and surface chemistry of magnesium silicide anode
Abstract Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is a new anode material candidate for Mg‐ion batteries due to the Earth‐abundance of Mg and Si and its high theoretical specific capacity of 1398 mAh/g. However, to date, no one reported its reversible Mg‐storage ability. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time...

Abstract Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is a new anode material candidate for Mg‐ion batteries due to the Earth‐abundance of Mg and Si and its high theoretical specific capacity of 1398 mAh/g.
