Description

General description

Magnesium is the most common mineral found in the human body. It is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes and is known to regulate physiological functions like blood pressure, muscle contraction, and neuromuscular conduction.[1][2] It can be used in the preparation of many biomaterials for biomedical applications.[3]

Application

Magnesium can be used:

• As a working electrode in the study of the electrochemical behavior of Li⁺ ions.[4]
• As an electrode material in the electropolymerization of di-n-hexyldichlorosilane.[5]
