Abstract Rechargeable magnesium batteries have received a considerable attention as one of the beyond-lithium batteries for next-generation energy storage systems. The benefits of magnesium compared to lithium are earth abundance, low cost and higher theoretical volumetric capacity. The utilization of magnesium metal anode is often limited due to the irreversible formation of inactive surface blocking layer in conventional electrolytes and the limited choice of counterpart cathode material. Insertion-type materials such as tin, etc., which are based on the alloy reaction with magnesium, have recently been introduced as a new class of alternative anode materials to magnesium metal. Obtaining a good charge-discharge cycling performance of those new materials is however a huge challenge. We have been pursuing the development of tin-based alloy anode materials for the realization of magnesium-ion batteries. In this talk, we report our recent research results of the electrochemical performance and interfacial phenomena of tin-based anode materials. // This work was supported by National Research Foundation of Korea (2015062107).
