| Summary: | Magnesium metal has a high theoretical volume capacity and abundant reserves. Magnesium ion battery is theoretically secure and eco-friendly. In recent years, magnesium ion battery has attracted wide attention and is expected to become a competitive energy storage candidate in the next generation. However, due to the large polarization effect and slow migration kinetics of magnesium ions, magnesium ions are hard to insert/desert in cathode materials, resulting in a poor cycle and rate performance. CoHCF, a typical Prussian blue analog, has an open frame structure and double REDOX sites, and it is regarded as a candidate for rechargeable ion battery. Herein, a Ni-doping method was utilized to improve the performance of CoHCF. Compared with the original CoHCF, the maximum specific discharge capacity of the Ni-doped CoHCF at 50 mA/g charging and discharging current increased from 70 mAh/g to 89 mAh/g, and the cyclic performance and rate performance improved. These improvements result from the fact that the electrode reaction process of Ni-doped CoHCF changes from diffusion-driven to reaction-driven. The Ni-doped CoHCF is more stable, and the lattice changes during Mg<sup>2+</sup> (de-)intercalation are smaller. This study can provide a reference for the development of Prussian blue analogs as cathode materials for magnesium ion batteries. |
