verving

Toyota began in 2011, will close the message, the previous magnesium batteries, lithium batteries to make a clear comparison. However, Toyota is not the only company to develop the technology. In fact, few companies are trying to figure out not only the battery technology, but also a cheap way to play.

Magnesium cell concept

The idea is the element magnesium battery draw abundance and light weight. These two factors attract buyers of electric vehicles environmentally friendly way. The light will also help to power electric cars and other urgently needed. magnesium catalysts, fuel cells are more powerful than lithium batteries in use today.

Fuel cell power generation, the result of chemical reactions within cells. Fuel cell industry, including several components, two electrodes and the electrolyte solution. positive and negative electrodes, which between them with the electrolyte of the load. Response speed of the catalyst to create the charges.

In the magnesium fuel cells, magnesium is the catalyst. It has been reported that salt water and the electrolyte, creating a chemical reaction, stimulates the charge between the electrodes. Powerful enough to run the car for seven hours of energy, much more than today’s cars with batteries.

Production problems

These batteries are running the car on display at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. natural assumption is that the consumer followed the car. However, a local media production companies in the Japanese magnesium battery, in 10 years in the future. Why? This is the price of processing and extraction of magnesium metal which makes the spectacle of the slower competitors.

Magnesium is the third most abundant bark, and even found a large amount of water. The extraction of pure magnesium from these sources and transform it into a fuel cell can be used to have lots of energy in the form of high heat. This allows the process is an expensive endeavor. Many studies are conducted worldwide in search of cheap production, but so far no success.

Magnesium possibilities are endless, especially in the vehicle batteries must have items. In a decade or so, research is needed. At that time, the use of new concepts of magnesium is endless.
