Abstract
The dependence on lithium for the energy needs of the world, coupled with its scarcity, has prompted the exploration of postlithium alternatives. Calcium-ion batteries are one such possible alternative owing to their high energy density, similar reduction potential, and naturally higher abundance. A critical gap in calcium-ion batteries is the lack of suitable cathodes for intercalating calcium at high voltages and capacities while also maintaining structural stability. Transition metal oxide postspinels have been identified as having crystal structures that can provide low migration barriers, high voltages, and facile transport pathways for calcium ions and thus can serve as cathodes for calcium-ion batteries. However, experimental validation of transition metal oxide postspinel compounds for calcium ion conduction remains unexplored. In this work, calcium manganese oxide (CaMn2O4) in the postspinel phase is explored as an intercalation cathode for calcium-ion batteries. CaMn2O4 is first synthesized via solid-state synthesis, and the phase is verified with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The redox activity of the cathode is investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic (GS) cycling, identifying oxidation potentials at 0.2 and 0.5 V and a broad insertion potential at -1.5 V. CaMn2O4 can cycle at a capacity of 52 mAh/g at a rate of C/33, and calcium cycling is verified with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and modeled with density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The results from the investigation concluded that CaMn2O4 is a promising cathode for calcium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries are an attractive alternative to lithium batteries because of their higher safety and lower cost, being spinel-type materials promising candidates for their positive electrode. Herein, MgMn2O4 with a tetragonal structure is synthesized via a simple, low-cost Pechini methodology and tested in aqueous media. Electrochemical measurements combined with in-situ Raman spectroscopy and other ex-situ physicochemical characterization techniques show that, in aqueous media, the charge/discharge process occurs through the co-intercalation of Mg2+ and water molecules. A progressive structure evolution from a well-defined spinel to a birnessite-type arrangement occurs during the first cycles, provoking capacity activation. The concomitant towering morphological change induces poor cycling performance, probably due to partial delamination and loss of electrical contact between the active film and the substrate. Interestingly, both MgMn2O4 capacity retention and cyclability can be increased by doping with nickel. This work provides insights into the positive electrode processes in aqueous media, which is vital for understanding the charge storage mechanism and the correlated performance of spinel-type host materials.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are promising candidates to replace currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their merits of abundant resources, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacity, etc. However, the development of RMBs is still facing great challenges including the incompatibility of the electrolyte and the lack of suitable cathode materials with high reversible capacity and fast kinetics of Mg2+ . While tremendous efforts have been made to explore compatible electrolytes and appropriate electrode materials, the rational design of unconventional Mg-based battery systems is another effective strategy for achieving high electrochemical performance. This review specifically discusses the recent research progress of various Mg-based battery systems. First, the optimization of electrolyte and electrode materials for conventional RMBs is briefly discussed. Furthermore, various Mg-based battery systems, including Mg-chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries, Mg-halogen (Br2 , I2 ) batteries, hybrid-ion batteries, and Mg-based dual-ion batteries are systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of different Mg-based battery systems, which can inspire latecomers to explore new strategies for the development of high-performance and practically available RMBs.

Abstract
A post-lithium battery era is envisaged, and it is urgent to find new and sustainable systems for energy storage. Multivalent metals, such as magnesium, are very promising to replace lithium, but the low mobility of magnesium ion and the lack of suitable electrolytes are serious concerns. This review mainly discusses the advantages and shortcomings of the new rechargeable magnesium batteries, the future directions and the possibility of using solid electrolytes. Special emphasis is put on the diversity of structures, and on the theoretical calculations about voltage and structures. A critical issue is to select the combination of the positive and negative electrode materials to achieve an optimum battery voltage. The theoretical calculations of the structure, intercalation voltage and diffusion path can be very useful for evaluating the materials and for comparison with the experimental results of the magnesium batteries which are not hassle-free.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries attract lots of attention because of their high safety and low cost compared to lithium batteries, and it is needed to develop more efficient electrode materials. Although MgMn2 O4 is a promising material for the positive electrode in Mg rechargeable batteries, it usually exhibits poor cyclability. To improve the electrochemical behavior, we have prepared nanoparticles of MgMn2-y Fey O4 . The XRD results have confirmed that when Mn3+ (Jahn-Teller ion) ions are replaced by Fe3+ (non-Jahn-Teller ion), the resulting MgMn2-y Fey O4 is a cubic phase. The structure and theoretical voltage are theoretically calculated by using the DFT method. The obtained samples have been chemically treated in acid solution for partial demagnesiation, and it is observed that the presence of iron inhibits the deinsertion of Mg through disproportionation and favors the exchange reaction. The electrochemical behavior in non-aqueous magnesium cells has been explored.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been regarded as one of the promising electrochemical energy storage systems to complement Li-ion batteries owing to the low-cost and high safety characteristics. However, the various challenges including the sluggish solid-state diffusion of highly polarizing Mg2+ ions in hosts, and the formation of blocking layers on Mg metal surface have seriously impeded the development of high-performance RMBs. In order to solve these problems toward practical applications of RMBs, a tremendous amount of work on electrodes and electrolytes has been conducted in the last few decades. Creative optimization strategies including the modification of cathodes and anodes such as shielding the charges of divalent Mg2+ , expanding the layers of host materials, and optimizing the interface of electrode-electrolyte are raised to promote the technology. In this review, the detailed description of innovative approaches, representative examples, and facing challenges for developing high-performance electrodes are presented. Based on the review of these strategies, guidelines are provided for future research directions on improving the overall battery performance, especially on the electrodes.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, a series of aqueous rechargeable metal-ion batteries (ARMBs) have been developed, aiming at improving safety, environmental friendliness and cost-efficiency in fields of consumer electronics, electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. However, the notable gap between ARMBs and their organic counterparts in energy density directly hinders their practical applications, making it difficult to replace current widely-used organic lithium-ion batteries. Basically, this huge gap in energy density originates from cell voltage, as the narrow electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes substantially confines the choice of electrode materials. This review highlights various ARMBs with focuses on their voltage characteristics and strategies that can effectively raise battery voltage. It begins with the discussion on the fundamental factor that limits the voltage of ARMBs, i.e., electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes, which decides the maximum-allowed potential difference between cathode and anode. The following section introduces various ARMB systems and compares their voltage characteristics in midpoint voltage and plateau voltage, in relation to respective electrode materials. Subsequently, various strategies paving the way to high-voltage ARMBs are summarized, with corresponding advancements highlighted. The final section presents potential directions for further improvements and future perspectives of this thriving field.

Abstract
The storage of energy by means of reversible intercalation of bivalent magnesium ions represents, nowadays, the shortest route for doubling the energy density of conventional lithium ion batteries. Contrary to the intercalation of monovalent lithium ions, the intercalation of Mg2+ is a kinetically limited process. Herein we demonstrate a new approach for improving Mg2+ intercalation, which is based on dual intercalation of Li+ and Mg2+ ions with a synergic effect. The concept is proved on the basis of eco-compatible oxides such as magnesium manganate spinels, MgMn2O4, and lithium titanates Li2TiO3 and Li4Ti5O12 with a monoclinic and spinel structure. These two types of oxides are selected since they exhibit high and low potentials of ion intercalation due to the redox couples Mn2,3+/Mn3,4+ and Ti3+/Ti4+, respectively. Through a newly developed method of synthesis, we succeeded in the preparation of well-crystallized nanosized spinels with a specific cationic distribution. The intercalation properties of MgMn2O4, Li2TiO3 and Li4Ti5O12 are first examined in model cells versus the metallic Li anode. The Li+ and Mg2+ intercalation is directed by the kind of the used electrolyte: a lithium electrolyte consisting of 1 M LiPF6 solution in EC : DMC and a magnesium electrolyte consisting of 0.5 Mg(TFSI)2 solution in diglyme. The mechanism of Li+ and Mg2+ co-intercalation is assessed by ex situ X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Finally, a new type of hybrid Li-Mg ion cell combining MgMn2O4 and Li4Ti5O12 oxides as electrodes is constructed. The cell configuration allows reaching an operating voltage of around 1.7 V by using an electrolyte containing 0.5 M LiTFSI in diglyme.

Abstract
Because of its high theoretical volumetric capacity and dendrite-free stripping/plating of Mg, rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) hold great promise for high energy density in consumer electronics. However, the lack of high-energy-density cathodes severely constrains their practical applications. Herein, for the first time, we report that a CuS cathode can fully reversibly work through a displacement reaction in CuS/Mg pouch cells at room temperature and provide a high capacity of ∼400 mA h/g in a MACC electrolyte, corresponding to the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of 608 W h/kg and1042 W h/L, respectively. Even after 80 cycles, CuS/Mg pouch cells can maintain a high capacity of 335 mA h/g. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that CuS undergoes a displacement reaction route rather than a typical conversion mechanism. This work will provide a guide for more discovery of high-performance cathode candidates for RMBs.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) that use pure Mg or Mg alloy as anode and materials allowing Mg ions to insert/extract as cathode have many advantages such as high energy density, environmental friendliness, low cost, and safety of handling. RMBs are regarded as a promising candidate for portable power sources and heavy load energy devices. However, there are still some technological issues impeding their commercial application. The most important issue is the absence of applicable cathode materials because of the high charge density, strong polarization effect, and very slow insertion/extraction speed of Mg2+ ions. In recent years, the research reports on the cathode materials of RMBs have increased significantly. Here, an extensive number of research papers are reviewed in terms of the microstructure characteristics of cathode materials for RMBs. The status and issues of cathode materials are analyzed and discussed in detail. The future development directions and perspectives are prospected for providing an understanding of the related research activities on RMBs.

Abstract
Reducing the particle size of cathode materials is effective to improve the rate capability of Mg-ion batteries. In this study, ultrasmall cubic Mg–Mn spinel oxide nanoparticles approximately 5 nm in size were successfully synthesized via an alcohol reduction process within 30 min at room temperature. Though the particles aggregated to form large secondary particles, the aggregation could be suppressed by covering the particles with graphene. The composite exhibited a specific capacity of 230 mA h g−1, and could be cycled more than 100 times without any large capacity loss even at a moderate current density with the Mg(ClO4)2/CH3CN electrolyte. An ultrasmall cubic Mg–Mn spinel obtained by an alcohol reduction process is demonstrated as a cathode candidate for rechargeable Mg-ion batteries.![]()

Abstract
Benefiting from a higher volumetric capacity (3833 mA h cm-3 for Mg vs. 2046 mA h cm-3 for Li) and dendrite-free Mg metal anode, reversible Mg batteries (RMBs) are a promising chemistry for applications beyond Li ion batteries. However, RMBs are still severely restricted by the absence of high performance cathodes for any practical application. In this review, we provide a critical and rigorous review of Mg battery cathode materials, mainly reported since 2013, focusing on the impact of structure and composition on magnesiation kinetics. We discuss cathode materials, including intercalation compounds, conversion materials (O2, S, organic compounds), water co-intercalation cathodes (V2O5, MnO2etc.), as well as hybrid systems using Mg metal anode. Among them, intercalation cathodes are further categorized by 3D (Chevrel phase, spinel structure etc.), 2D (layered structure), and 1D materials (polyanion: phosphate and silicate), according to the diffusion pathway of Mg2+ in the framework. Instead of discussing every published work in detail, this review selects the most representative works and highlights the merits and challenges of each class of cathodes. Advances in theoretical analysis are also reviewed and compared with experimental results. This critical review will provide comprehensive knowledge of Mg cathodes and guidelines for exploring new cathodes for rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Abstract
This study reports on the electrochemical alloying-dealloying properties of Mg2Sn intermetallic compounds. 119Sn Mössbauer spectra of β-Sn powder, thermally alloyed cubic-Mg2Sn, and an intermediate MgSn nominal composition are used as references. The discharge of a Mg/micro-Sn half-cell led to significant changes in the spectra line shape, which is explained by a multiphase mechanism involving the coexistence of c-Mg2Sn, distorted Mg2−δSn, and Mg-doped β-Sn. Capacities and capacity retention were improved by using nanoparticulate tin electrodes. This material reduces significantly the diffusion lengths for magnesium and contains surface SnO and SnO2, which are partially electroactive. The half-cell potentials were suitable to be combined versus the MgMn2O4 cathodes. Energy density and cycling properties of the resulting full Mg-ion cells are also scrutinized.
