This is not new. Magnesium itself doesn't generate electricity in the air, but it can participate in reactions that produce electricity. One common example is the use of magnesium in batteries, where it serves as the anode material. In a typical setup, magnesium reacts with an electrolyte (usually a solution or a solid-state material) to produce electrons, which can then flow through an external circuit, generating electricity. This process occurs in a controlled environment and isn't typically referred to as generating electricity "in the air." However, magnesium-air batteries are a specific type of metal-air battery that utilizes the reaction of magnesium with oxygen from the air to generate electricity. The concept of using magnesium in batteries has been around for a long time, with the earliest experiments dating back to the 19th century. However, the development of magnesium-air batteries, specifically utilizing the reaction of magnesium with oxygen from the air to generate electricity, has been a more recent advancement. The exact timeline of when magnesium-air batteries were first developed can vary depending on specific research efforts and applications. Significant research into magnesium-air batteries began to gain momentum in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, driven by the need for high-energy-density and environmentally friendly battery technologies. Specific milestones and breakthroughs in magnesium-air battery technology likely occurred at different times in various research labs and institutions around the world. Continuous research and development efforts are ongoing to improve the performance, efficiency, and practical applications of magnesium-air batteries. K Rajaram IRS 22524
