Abstract
Batterie energy storage systems (BESSs) have a critical role in today's human society. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been introduced as potential BESSs for human demands. Herein, we probed the sodium storage characteristics of tetra-penta-octagonal (TPO) graphene for SIBs using DFT and Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) methods. The projected density of states (PDOS) profiles indicate a non-covalent interaction between sodium and host that is critical for reversible adsorption of sodium. Climbing image (CI-NEB) calculation reveals a low diffusion energy barrier of 0.037–0.058 eV, suggesting efficient sodium ion mobility for fast charge technology. Theoretical calculations predict a high capacity of 781 mAh/gr which is higher than many other 2D materials. An average open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.98 V shows that this structure works within the appropriate operating voltage range of SIBs. AIMD calculations illustrated that the fully adsorbed structure remains stable at 300 K.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling is devoted to the publication of papers on the uses of computers in theoretical investigations of molecular structure, function, interaction, and design. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of molecular modeling and computational chemistry, including, for instance, the study of molecular shape and properties, molecular simulations, protein and polymer engineering, drug design, materials design, structure-activity and structure-property relationships, database mining, and compound library design.
As a primary research journal, JMGM seeks to bring new knowledge to the attention of our readers. As such, submissions to the journal need to not only report results, but must draw conclusions and explore implications of the work presented. Authors are strongly encouraged to bear this in mind when preparing manuscripts. Routine applications of standard modelling approaches, providing only very limited new scientific insight, will not meet our criteria for publication. Reproducibility of reported calculations is an important issue. Wherever possible, we urge authors to enhance their papers with Supplementary Data, for example, in QSAR studies machine-readable versions of molecular datasets or in the development of new force-field parameters versions of the topology and force field parameter files. Routine applications of existing methods that do not lead to genuinely new insight will not be considered.
