Title: Magnesium ion mobility in post-spinels accessible at ambient pressure

Abstract

We propose that Ti-containing post-spinels may offer a practically-accessible route to fast multivalent ion diffusion in close-packed oxide lattices, with the caveat that substantial thermodynamic driving forces for conversion reactions exist. First-principles modeling of a new mixed V/Ti post-spinel phase reveals a possible route to ambient-pressure oxide cathodes exhibiting fast Mg diffusion.
