Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries: searching for layered electrode materials Sodium-ion batteries are one step closer to market thanks to a computer program that screens for promising electrode materials. A team led by Zen Zhou at Nankai University in China developed a rapid, ‘high-throughput’ computational approach to search the vast online ‘Materials Project’ database for layered sodium-based materials. Once identified, the authors assessed the candidate materials’ potential for use in sodium-ion batteries by calculating their energy storage properties, such as volume change and sodium ion mobility, finding that a number of them-including Na(CuO)2, NaTiF4, Na2Zr(CuS2)2, Na3Co2SbO6, and Na2Cu(CO3)2–are potentially suitable for use as ‘insertion-type’ cathode materials. The authors hope their method could also be used to search for other types of layered compound for electrode materials, and accelerate the development of next-generation batteries.
