Influence of Inversion on Mg Mobility and Electrochemistry in Spinels
Influence of Inversion on Mg Mobility and Electrochemistry in Spinels
Magnesium oxide and sulfide spinels have recently attracted interest as cathode and electrolyte materials for energy-dense Mg batteries, but their observed electrochemical performance depends strongly on synthesis conditions. Using first-principles calculations and percolation theory, we explore the extent to which spinel inversion influences Mg2+ ionic mobility in MgMn2O4 as a …
