Abstract
Effective energy storage and conversion technologies are indispensable for developing advanced rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable Mg batteries have attracted increasing research interest as potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries, due to high energy capability, earth abundant, good operational safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost. Since monolayer MoS2 have been synthesized through various methods, MoS2 nanostructures have been applied to enhance the energy storage in the alkali-ion batteries. However, few works focus on the theoretical investigation of the Mg-ion batteries based on 1H-MoS2 monolayer. In this paper, we conducted the first-principles calculations to investigate the Mg ions adsorption on and diffusion through the 1H-MoS2 monolayer. Three adsorption sites, including top of S atom, top of Mo atom, and hole site (centre of hexagonal lattice), were considered for measuring the binding energy of Mg-ions. Result show that the binding energy at the top of Mo atom is the larger than those at the other adsorption sites, which indicates the possibly stable absorption configuration. Energy barriers of Mg-ions passing through and diffusing over the MoS2 monolayer are also calculated. It was found that the Mg-ion has a largest energy barrier to pass through the 1H-MoS2 layer and a smallest energy barrier to diffuse above the 1H-MoS2 layer. The band structures and density of states of MoS2 before and after Mg-ion absorption were also calculated and discussed.
