New cathode materials for rechargeable Mg batteries: fast Mg ion transport and reversible copper extrusion in CuyMo6S8 compounds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a discovery of fast cathode materials, ternary Chevrel phases (CPs), CuyMo6S8, for rechargeable magnesium batteries; the related electrochemical process displays a unique coupling between reversible Mg insertion, and Cu extrusion/ reinsertion; this coupling results in an entirely new intercalation mechanism which combines the total chemical reversibility of the electrochemical reaction of MgxCuyMo6S8 with irreversibility of its separate stages once Cu extrusion stage is reached (in MgxCuyMo6S8: 0.5x + y > 4).

The magnesium-metal battery, which consists of a cathode, a Mg-metal anode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte, is a safer and less expensive alternative to the popular Li-ion battery. However, the performance of Mg batteries is greatly limited by the low electrochemical oxidative stability of nonaqueous electrolytes, the slow Mg diffusion into the cathode, and the irreversibility of Mg striping and ...

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are poised to be viable candidates for large-scale energy storage devices in smart grid communities and electric vehicles. However, the energy density of previously proposed rechargeable magnesium batteries is low, limited mainly by the cathode materials. Here, we present new design approaches for the cathode in order to realize a high-energy-density rechargeabl...
متن کاملHigh-Voltage Aqueous Magnesium Ion Batteries
Nonaqueous rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries suffer from the complicated and moisture-sensitive electrolyte chemistry. Besides electrolytes, the practicality of a Mg battery is also confined by the absence of high-performance electrode materials due to the intrinsically slow Mg2+ diffusion in the solids. In this work, we demonstrated a rechargeable aqueous magnesium ion battery (AMIB) conce...
