"Towards a computational understanding of water oxidation at graphene-b" by Richard N.L. Terrett, George Tsekouras et al.

The coordination of oxo-manganese clusters to edge-functionalised graphene (EFG) offers a potential route to advanced water oxidation electrodes with exceptional electrochemical surface area and electron transport properties. Prior work has demonstrated the feasibility of edge-coordination of a variety of oxo-manganese clusters to graphene sheets under a range of graphene-consistent ligand constraints (GCLCs) (Terrett, et al. 2021). Here, a broken-symmetry Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) approach is employed to investigate the ability of one such cluster to support reactive intermediates of potential relevance to water oxidation. These calculations demonstrate that the cluster is capable of supporting a range of coordination geometries, radical states, and reactions of relevance to water oxidation. Particularly, coordination of Ca2+ and Sr2+ is shown to reduce the activation energy of dioxygen release from the cluster within a scenario o ....

"Intrinsic electrochemical activity of Ni in Ni3Sn4 anode accommodating" by Janghyuk Moon, Trung Dinh Hoang et al.

Fast interfacial kinetics derived from bicontinuous three-dimensional (3D) architecture is a strategic feature for achieving fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). One of the main reasons is its large active surface and short diffusion path. Yet, understanding of unusual electrochemical properties still remain great challenge due to its complexity. In this study, we proposed a nickel–tin compound (Ni3Sn4) supported by 3D Nickel scaffolds as main frame because the Ni3Sn4 clearly offers a higher reversible capacity and stable cycling performance than bare tin (Sn). In order to verify the role of Ni, atomic-scale simulation based on density functional theory systematically addressed to the reaction mechanism and structural evolution of Ni3Sn4 during the lithiation process. Our findings are that Ni enables Ni3Sn4 to possess higher mechanical stability in terms of reactive flow stress, subsequently lead to improve Li storage capability. This study elucidates an understanding of the l ....
