Abstract

Magnesium (Mg) ion cell is a promising candidate as energy storage instead of lithium-ion cell due to its advantages such as naturally abundant, low cost, nontoxic and atmospherically stable. However, the applications of Mg-ion cells in many devices were hindered due to the difficulty in selecting cathode material that can reversibly intercalate Mg-ion into host material. In this work, the cathode materials of MgMn2O4 doped with aluminium (Al) were prepared and characterized. These materials were synthesized by using self-propagating combustion method and the precursors obtained were annealed at temperature of 700 °C for 6 h. Triethanolamine and citric acid were used as the reducing agents. The cathode materials were characterized in terms of their thermal, structural morphological and elemental properties by using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray, respectively. To study the electrochemical properties and stability of the cathode materials, linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed using 1 M magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate in EC:DME (1:1) as an electrolyte. The performance of Mg-ion cell with optimized cathode material was studied by galvanostatic charge–discharge test.
