A study of the average voltage to intercalate lithium in various metal oxides is presented. By combining the ab initio pseudopotential method with basic thermodynamics the average intercalation voltage can be predicted without the need for experimental data. This procedure is used to systematically study the effect of…

In this work, the phase diagram of ${\mathrm{Li}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{2}$ is calculated from first principles for x ranging from 0 to 1. Our calculations indicate that there is a tendency for Li ordering at $x=\frac{1}{2}$ in agreement with experiment [J. N. Reimers and J. R. Dahn, J. Electrochem. Soc. 139, 2091 (1992)…

Li-S rechargeable batteries are attractive for electric transportation because of their low cost, environmentally friendliness, and superior energy density. However, the Li-S system has yet to conquer the marketplace, owing to its drawbacks, namely, soluble polysulfide formation. To tackle this issue, we present here…

A comprehensive study is reported entailing optimization of sodium ion electrolyte formulation and compatibility studies with positive and negative electrode materials. EC:PC:DMC and EC:PC:DME were found to exhibit optimum ionic conductivities and lower viscosities. Yet, hard carbon negative electrode materials tested…

Abstract Zinc‐based batteries have a high capacity and are safe, cost‐effective, environmentally‐friendly, and capable of scalable production. However, dendrite formation and poor reversibility hinder their performance. Metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐based Zn anodes are made by wet chemistry to address these issues. Th…
