Abstract
Electrode materials with appropriate mechanical, electronic and structural attributes are prerequisites for next generation renewable energy technology. An essential stage in development of batteries to achieve superior performance is selecting an appropriate anode material. In this research, application of B3S monolayer for anode materials has been investigated employing first-principles-based DFT. For B3S monolayer, as an anode material, it is anticipated to have high performance with a low sodium diffusion barrier (Ea < 0.45 eV), low open-circuit voltage (OCV∼0.12 V), and high storage capacity (1855 mA h g−1). In addition, metallicity of B3S monolayer has been maintained at the end of Na adsorption, which reveals a favorable battery operating cycle and electrical conductivity. Our findings elucidate that these outstanding attributes cause B3S monolayer to be an attractive option for anode materials in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs).
