High Voltage Mg-Ion Battery Cathode via a Solid Solution Cr–Mn Spinel Oxide

We discuss how lattice Mg 2+ in a tailored solid solution spinel, MgCrMnO 4 , is electrochemically utilized at high Mn-redox potentials in a nonaqueous electrolyte. Complementary evidence from experimental and theoretical analyses supports bulk Mg 2+ (de)intercalation throughout the designed oxide frame where strong electrostatic interaction between Mg 2+ and O 2- exists. Mg/Mn antisite inversion in the spinel is lowered to similar to 10% via postannealing at 350 degrees C to further improve Mg 2+ mobility. Spinel lattice is preserved upon removal of Mg 2+ without any phase transformations, denoting structural stability at the charged state at a high potential similar to 3.0 V (vs Mg/Mel. Clear remagnesiation upon first discharge, harvesting up to similar to 180 Wh/kg at 60 degrees C is shown. In the remagnesiated state, insertion of Mg 2+ into interstitial sites in the spinel is detected, possibly resulting in partial reversibility which needs to be addressed for structural stability. The observations constitute a first clear path to the development of a practical high voltage Mg-ion cathode using a spinel oxide.
