Mg‐ion batteries (MIBs) possess promising advantages over monovalent Li‐ion battery technology. However, one of the myriad obstacles in realizing highly efficient MIBs is a limited selection of cathode materials that can enable reversible, stable Mg 2+ intercalation at a high operating voltage. Here, a scalable method is showcased to synthesize a hydrated Mg x V 5 O 12 cathode, which shows a high capacity of ≈160 mAh g −1 with a high voltage of 2.1 V, a decent rate capability, and an outstanding cycling life (e.g., 81% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles). The combination of in situ and ex situ characterizations and first‐principles calculations provides evidence of reversible, facile topochemical Mg 2+ intercalation into the expanded 2D channels of the hydrated Mg x V 5 O 12 cathode, which results from the synergistic effects of Mg 2+ pillars and structural H 2 O. The findings underscore the advantage of the rich but controllable chemistry of vanadium oxide bronzes in achieving practical multivalent cation mobility.
