Re-delocalization of localized d-electrons in VO2(R)-VS4 hetero-structure enables high performance of rechargeable Mg-ion batteries

Rechargeable Mg-ion batteries(MIBs)have attracted much more attentions by virtue of the high capacity from the two electrons chemistry.However,the reversible Mg2+diffusion in cathode materials is restricted by the strong interactions between the high-polarized bivalent Mg2+ions and anionic lattice.Herein,we design and propose a hetero-structural VO2(R)-VS4 cathode,in which the re-delocalized d-electrons can effective-ly shield the polarity of Mg2+ions.Theoretically,the electrons should spontaneously transfer from VS4 to VO2(R)through the interfaces of het-ero-structure due to the lower work function value of VS4.Furthermore,the internal electrons transfer lead to the electronic injection into VO2(R)from VS4 and the partially broken V-V dimers,indicating the presence of lone pair electrons and charge re-delocalization.Benefiting from the shield effect of re-delocalized electrons,and the weakened attraction between cations and O/S anions enables more S2--S22-redox groups to participate the electrochemical reactions and compensate the double charge of Mg2+ions.Accordingly,VO2(R)-VS4 hetero-structure exhibits a high specific capacity of 554 mA·h·g-1 at 50 mA·g-1.It is believed that the charge re-delocalization of cathode extremely boost the Mg2+ions migration for the high-capacity of MIBs.
