Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We present three magnesium selenide spinels, MgSc 0.4 Y 0.4 Er 0.4 Tm 0.4 Yb 0.4 Se 4, Mg 0.75 Sc 2 Se 3.5 Br 0.5 and MgYb 2 Se 4, as potential solid electrolytes (SE) for magnesium batteries. In particular, the latter spinel exhibits a room-temperature ionic conductivity exceeding 10 –4 S cm –1 and a low Mg 2+ migration barrier of 364 meV. The high ionic mobility is attributed to the low magnesium insertion energy revealed by density functional theory (DFT), which indicates a weak binding interaction between magnesium ions and the host lattice. Furthermore, like the two multicomponent spinels, MgYb 2 Se 4 exhibits lower electronic conductivity compared to previously studied MgB 2 Se 4 spinels (B = Sc, Y, Er, Tm) and a good electrochemical stability, making it a strong candidate for Mg 2+ SE applications.
