Abstract
A magnesium cell includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode including a magnesium alloy, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to hold an electrolytic solution, in which a contact area between the negative electrode and the separator is variable.
Claims9
A magnesium cell comprising:
- a positive electrode;
- a negative electrode including a magnesium alloy;
- and
- a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to hold an electrolytic solution;
- wherein
- a contact area between the negative electrode and the separator is variable.

A magnesium cell system comprising:
- a magnesium cell including a positive electrode, a negative electrode having a magnesium alloy, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to hold an electrolytic solution, and a driving portion for changing a contact area between the negative electrode and the separator;
- and
- a control portion configured to control the driving portion depending on an operation state of a loading device, the loading device operating by electric power extracted from the positive electrode and the negative electrode;
- wherein
- the control portion controls the driving portion in such a manner that the contact area between the negative electrode and the separator is increased as a load by the loading device is increased.
