For practical room-temperature magnesium rechargeable battery operation, utilizing the nano-sized MgMn2O4 spinel as cathode material is effective way to have high rate-capabilities; however, electrolyte decomposition at the cathode/electrolyte interface is inevitable. In this work, a Mg-Fe binary oxide is coated onto nano-sized MgMn2O4 to form stable cathode electrolyte interface (CEI). This developed cathode material suppresses the electrolyte decomposition and improves the cyclability at room temperature.
