High-capacity cathodes for magnesium lithium chlorine tri-ion batteries through chloride intercalation in layered MoS2: a computational study

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have great potential as an alternative technology to substitute resource-limited lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but rather difficult transportation of Mg²⁺ in cathodes and hence low cathode capacities loom as a major roadblock for their applications.
