Abstract: The composition of the rolled then annealed AT61 (Mg-6%Al-1%Sn) and AP65 (Mg-6%Al-5%Pb) magnesium alloy anodes were analyzed, the effects of 3.5wt% and 7.0wt% NaCl electrolytes on the electrochemical properties of two magnesium alloys were studied by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrum analyzer, electrochemical measurement and battery tester. The results show that the Mg 17 Al 12 phase diffuses into the matrix of AT61 and AP65 magnesium alloys after homogenization heat-treatment at 430 ℃ for 16 h; compared with 3.5wt% NaCl electrolyte, the discharge performance of magnesium alloy anodes have been improved in 7.0wt% NaCl electrolyte while magnesium alloy-air batteries have enhanced discharge stability.
