In this study, reversible Mg2+ intercalation in metal oxides frameworks is a key enabler for an operational Mg ion battery with high energy density needed for the next generation of energy storage technologies. While functional Mg-ion batteries have been achieved in structures with soft anions (e.g., S2- and Se2-), they do not meet energy density requirements to compete with the current rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to their low insertion potentials, emphasizing the necessity of finding an oxide-based cathode that operates at high potentials. A leading hypothesis to explain the limited availability of oxide Mg-ion cathodes is the belief that Mg2+ has sluggish diffusion kinetics in oxides due to strong electrostatic interactions between the Mg2+ ions and oxide anions in the lattice. From this assessment, it can be hypothesized that such rate limiting kinetic shortcomings can be mitigated by tailoring an oxide framework through creating less stable Mg2+ - O2- coordination.
