Re: Cheap Li-Ion replacements from Magnesium batteries?
But magnesium metal is too brittle to fashion into the thin sheets needed. So instead the researchers now use an alloy of magnesium called AZ-31, which is 3% aluminium and 1% zinc.

Interesting. FYI Science News had a recent article describing how researchers are using calculations of quantum mechanical effects to compute newer better alloys vs the tried and true method of guess and try. No question, we really NEED better rechargeable batteries and ones that do not result in heavy metal, etc. pollution upon disposal.
