Abstract
Mg0.5Ti2(PO4)(3) having NASICON-lattice was prepared by sol-gel method and evaluated as a cathode material for magnesium cells. The crystalline phase could be successfully obtained after heating at 600 degreesC. Electrochemic al magnesium insertion from a propylene carbonate solution into this host w as found possible and one Mg2+ ion could be accommodated per unit formula. However, the magnesium insertion process was under kinetic control of Mg2diffusion due to the low mobility of Mg2+ in this host. (C) 2001 Elsevier S cience BN. All rights reserved.
