Magnesium batteries are a promising technology for a new generation of energy storage for portable devices. Attention should be paid to electrolyte and electrode material development in order to develop rechargeable Mg batteries. In this study, we report the use of the spinel lithium titanate or Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) as an active electrode for Mg2+-ion batteries. The theoretical capacity of LTO is 175 mA h g−1, which is equivalent to an insertion reaction with 1.5 Mg2+ ions. The ability to enhance the specific capacity of LTO is of practical importance. We have observed that it is possible to increase the capacity up to 290 mA h g−1 in first discharge, which corresponds to the reaction with 2.5 Mg2+ ions. The addition of MgCl2·6H2O to the electrolyte solutions significantly improves their electrochemical performance and enables reversible Mg deposition. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns reveal little structural changes, while X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) (XPS) measurements suggest Mg reacts with LTO. The Ti3+/Ti4+ ratio increases with the amount of inserted magnesium. The impedance spectra show the presence of a semicircle at medium-low frequencies, ascribable to Mg2+ ion diffusion between the surface film and LTO. Further experimental improvements with exhaustive control of electrodes and electrolytes are necessary to develop the Mg battery with practical application.

Nanoporous carbon, including redox-active functional groups, can be a promising active electrode material (AEM) as a positive electrode for lithium-ion batteries owing to its high electrochemical performance originating from the host-free surface-driven charge storage process. This study examined the effects of the nanopore size on the pseudocapacitance of the nanoporous carbon materials using nanopore-engineered carbon-based AEMs (NE-C-AEMs). The pseudocapacitance of NE-C-AEMs was intensified, when the pore diameter was ≥2 nm in a voltage range of 1.0~4.8 V vs Li+/Li under the conventional carbonate-based electrolyte system, showing a high specific capacity of ~485 mA·h·g−1. In addition, the NE-C-AEMs exhibited high rate capabilities at current ranges from 0.2 to 4.0 A·g−1 as well as stable cycling behavior for more than 300 cycles. The high electrochemical performance of NE-C-AEMs was demonstrated by full-cell tests with a graphite nanosheet anode, where a high specific energy and power of ~345 Wh·kg−1 and ~6100 W·Kg−1, respectively, were achieved.

Abstract Development of high performance cathode materials, layer-structured ternary LiNi x Co y M 1-x-y O 2 cathode materials have attracted much attention owing to their larger capacity and higher energy density.Persistent efforts have been devoted to tackling certain issues like low electronic conductivity and poor structural stability. Dual strategy of Mg doping and surface modification of the cathode material was adopted to improve the performance of the battery. Fullerene-Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) hybrid draped LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple chemical route. The fullerene-MWCNT hybrid modifies the surface of pristine LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 thereby improves the electrochemical performance and maintains the structural stability of the cathode material. Pristine LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 and LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 / fullerene-MWCNT nanocomposite were studied using various advanced characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Micro-Raman spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). It is found that LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 particles retain their structural integrity after being enveloped with a fullerene-MWCNT hybrid. The electrochemical performance was investigated with cyclic voltammetry(CV), galvanostaticcharge-discharge(GCD) test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). As prepared LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 , when deployed in the form of LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 / fullerene-MWCNT composite exhibits a high specific capacity of 208 mAh g -1 .Fullerene-MWCNT hybrid draped LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 nanocomposite provides an effective Li + and electron channel that significantly increased the Li-ion diffusion coefficient and reduced the charge transfer resistance. Besides,the lithium diffusion coefficient increased from 5.13 x 10 -13 (Li/LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 ) to 8.313 x 10 -13 cm 2 s -1 due to the improved kinetics of Li insertion/extraction process in Li/LiNi 0.1 Mg 0.1 Co 0.8 O 2 +fullerene-MWCNT cell.
