Abstract:
Underachieved capacity and low voltage plateau is ubiquitous in conventional aqueous magnesium ion full batteries. Such limitations originate from the electrochemistry and the low carrier-hosting ((de)intercalation) potential of electrode materials. Herein, via a strategy of enhancing the electrochemistry through carrier-hosting potential compensation, high-energy Mg2+ /Na+ hybrid batteries are achieved. A Mg1.5 VCr(PO4 )3 (MVCP) cathode is coupled with FeVO4 (FVO) anode in a new aqueous/organic hybrid electrolyte, giving reliable high-voltage operation. This operation enables more sufficient (de)intercalation of hybrid carriers (Mg2+ /Na+ ), thereby enhancing the reversible capacity remarkably (233.4 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 , 92.7 Wh kg-1 electrode , that is, ≥1.75-fold higher than those in conventional aqueous electrolytes). The relatively high Na+ -hosting potential of the electrodes compensates for the low Mg2+ -hosting potential and widens/elevates the discharge plateau of the full battery up to 1.50 V. Mechanism study further reveals an unusual phase transformation of FVO to Fe2 V3 and the low-lattice-strain pseudocapacitive (de)intercalation chemistry of MVCP.

Electron Carriers
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...
Voltaic/Galvanic Cells
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
