title: Insights into the electrochemical performances of Bi anodes for Mg ion batteries using25Mg solid state NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: Bi nanowires as anode materials for Mg ion batteries exhibit excellent electrochemical behaviour, forming Mg3Bi2; this is in part ascribed to the rapid Mg mobility between the two Mg sites of Mg3Bi2, as revealed by the25Mg NMR spectra of Mg3Bi2formed electrochemically and via ball-milling. A mechanism involving hops into vacant Mg sites is proposed.
