Abstract
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.Keywords
