JCESR team advances prospects of solid-state magnesium-ion batteries with discovery of fastest magnesium-ion solid-state conductor

Green Car Congress

However, poor mobility of Mg 2+ (and other multivalent cations) prevents the development of a broad spectrum of cathode materials, as are available to lithium- and sodium-ion battery technologies. Other co-authors on the paper are Juchaun Li of Berkeley Lab, William Richards and Yan Wang of MIT, and Tan Shi and Yaosen Tian of UC Berkeley.
