First-Principles Study of Sodium Intercalation in Crystalline Na x Si24 (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) as Anode Material for Na-ion Batteries
Abstract The search for Si-based anodes capable of undergoing low volume changes during electrochemical operation in rechargeable batteries is ample and active. Here we focus on crystalline Si24, a recently discovered open-cage allotrope of silicon, to thoroughly investigate its electrochemical perf...
