Battery Fuel Cell

Toyota started out the 2011 year with news that it was closing in on a magnesium-powered battery that would make lithium batteries pale in comparison. However, Toyota isn’t the only company manufacturing such technology. In fact, a handful of companies are attempting to come up with not only the technology for the battery, but likewise an inexpensive way to reproduce it.

Magnesium Battery Concept

The entire conception of a magnesium battery draws on the element’s abundance and lightweight. Both components would appeal to an electric car buyer’s environmental side. The lightweight would also bestow to the power that the electric car so desperately needs. Magnesium’s catalyst that fuels the battery is likewise much more powerful than that of the lithium batteries presently used.

Fuel cell batteries generate their power as a result of a chemical reaction within the battery. The inside of a fuel cell comprises of various components, amongst them two electrodes and an electrolyte solution. The electrodes are positive and negative that uses the electrolyte to carry the charge amongst them. A catalyst provides speeds up the reaction that produces the charge.

In a magnesium fuel cell, the magnesium is that catalyst. It is introduced to the salt water electrolyte, creating a chemical reaction that jumpstarts that electric charge amongst electrodes. The power is strong sufficient to run a car for seven hours, much longer than current battery powered cars.

Production Problem

Race cars running on such batteries were showcased at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The natural assumption is that buyer autos were not far behind. However, one Japanese company places the mass devised magnesium battery as far out as 10 years in the future. Why? It is the price of processing and extracting magnesium that has made this wonder metal a slow contender.

Magnesium Alloy is the third most plenteous in the Earth’s crust, and even found in massive amounts within seawater. Extracting the pure magnesium from these roots and processing it into a form that may be applied in fuel cells takes a lot of energy in the form of exceedingly high heat. This make the processing also an pricey endeavor. Many studies are being conducted global to find a for less production, but so far, none have succeeded.

The future prospects or potentials for magnesium are endless, in particular in making the battery powered car a must-have item. Another decade or so of exploration is required. Until then, new conceptions for use of magnesium are endless.
