Charging/discharging mechanism in Mg3Bi2 anodes for Mg-ion batteries; The role of the spin-orbit coupling

Magnesum ion batteries are an exciting new technology that offer prospects towards significantly higher capacities of electrochemical storage. During discharge, each magnesium 2+ ion which moves through the electrolyte to the cathode results in 2 electrons driven through an electrical circuit, allowing for potentially higher performance in secondary ion batteries.
