Magnesium nanostructures for energy storage and conversion

Mg nanostructures have enhanced the great potential of bulk Mg in the area of energy storage and conversion due to their lightweight, abundant, and high-energy density properties. In this paper, we highlight the recent developments in the synthesis of Mg nanostructures and their application in two specific areas: high-energy batteries and hydrogen storage (related to fuel cells). We hope it will benefit further developments of Mg nanostructures.
