Abstract:

The important technological achievements and scientific challenges of a wide range of Li-ion, Mg-ion, and Al-ion batteries for electric vehicles are discussed in this article. The fundamental configurations and corresponding reaction mechanisms of metal-ion strategies are tangibly discussed in this review article. After a brief revision of the fundamentals, the performance is analysed among Li-ion, Mg-ion and Al-ion battery technologies. The key parameters for the present compilation are the abundance, the volumetric capacity, the gravimetric capacity, the cycling life, cost and safety.
