Abstract

V2Se9 displays facile electrochemical insertion of up to 1.6 Mg2+ per unit formula with fast diffusion (coefficients of 10−10–10−12 cm2 s−1) surpassing best-in-class materials like Mo6S8. Detailed structural characterization of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data with ab initio Maximum Entropy Method analysis reveals Mg2+ insertion into octahedral sites within the large vdW space between [V4Se18]∞ chains. Fast rate performance is attributed to low structural perturbation and low diffusion barriers, calculated by bond valence pathway analysis, resulting from the low charge-per-size of anionic selenium. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveal that reversible insertion of Mg2+ is facilitated by V5+/V3+ redox. V2Se9 demonstrates that selenides, despite their larger molecular weight, offer potential as fast-rate positive electrode materials for magnesium batteries over well-explored oxides and sulfides.
