para-Nitrotoluene as a depolarizer for magnesium batteries

Magnesium cells have been fabricated using p-nitrotoluene (PNT) as a cathode depolarizer. The performance characteristics of 1V/3 A h cells have been investigated at various current densities and with different electrolytes. The cathodic efficiency of PNT is discussed in terms of the discharge behav...

Description
Summary:Magnesium cells have been fabricated using p-nitrotoluene (PNT) as a cathode depolarizer. The performance characteristics of 1V/3 A h cells have been investigated at various current densities and with different electrolytes. The cathodic efficiency of PNT is discussed in terms of the discharge behaviour. Cyclic voltammetry studies have demonstrated the irreversible nature of PNT.
