The authors present a new polyanion cathode material, KVPCH, which exhibits high redox potential and contains structural water, enabling efficient reversible Mg2+ intercalation at high potential. This work provides effective paths for the design of cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries.
The development of Mg-ion batteries is hindered by the lack of cathode materials that allow facile and reversible Mg2+ intercalation at high potential. Herein, the authors present a polyanion cathode material of K-2(VO)(2)(HPO4)(2)(C2O4)center dot 4.5H(2)O (KVPCH) for Mg-ion batteries. The inductive effect of polyanions ensures the high redox potential of the vanadium centers. In addition, the material contains structural water located between the layers. It helps with Mg2+ desolvation at the electrode-electrolyte interface and facilitates its diffusion in the structure, as confirmed by experimental analysis and theoretical calculations. Thanks to those factors, the KVPCH electrode presents excellent Mg storage capability at room temperature. It delivers 121 mAh g(-1) capacity at 1C with a high average discharge potential of 0.16 V versus Ag/Ag+ (3.2 V vs Mg/Mg2+). A capacity retention of 87% is realized after 1500 cycles at 5C. A rocking-chair Mg-ion full cell is also demonstrated with the KVPCH cathode and a MoOx anode, which achieves 46 mAh g(-1) capacity (based on the total active material mass of two electrodes). This work would bring effective paths for the design of cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries.
