The paper discusses the prospects of using metal-air electrochemical current sources, in particular the advantages of using magnesium as an anode. The methods for increasing the efficiency of the anode, electrolyte and cathode are analyzed. Moreover, the paper presents the comparative electrochemical characteristics of various metals used as an anode, their effectiveness, advantages, and availability. At the same time, this research considers a number of problems that are specific to metal-air current sources and ways to overcome them. We discuss the methods for reducing the cost of magnesium production and utilization of the by-product of the reaction – magnesium hydroxide based on a new technology (ECOATOM, LLC; Republic of Armenia).
