Scientists discover the optimal composition for a magnesium secondary battery cathode to achieve better cyclability and high battery capacity
Magnesium is a promising candidate as an energy carrier for next-generation batteries. However, the cycling performance and capacity of magnesium batteries need to improve if they are to replace lithium-ion batteries.
To this end, a research team focused on a novel cathode material with a spinel structure, Mg1.33V1.67−xMnxO4.
Following extensive characterization and electrochemical performance experiments, they have found a specific composition that could open doors to high-performance magnesium rechargeable batteries.
