Abstract

Abstract : Mg-ion storage within a covalent P-anode optimizes the anodic voltage and reduces the Mg-diffusion barrier, thereby can overcome the bottleneck in Mg-battery technology. Abstract : By means of first-principles analysis, we have shown that black phosphorus shows promise as a low potential and high capacity anode in Mg-ion batteries. The fact that deserves the most attention is synergistic interaction between Mg-ions and the covalent P-host that reduces the Mg-diffusion barrier and optimizes the anodic voltage, thereby can overcome the bottleneck in Mg-battery machinery.
