First-principles calculations on the deposition behavior of LixNay (x plus y ≤ 5) clusters during the hybrid storage of Li and Na atoms on graphene

Ding Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that the deposition behavior of Li and Na atoms on graphene is similar, with Li atoms being deposited preferentially over Na atoms to form a stereotypical atomic cluster. Electronic structure analysis shows that the electrons of LixNay clusters are transferred to adjacent anti-bonding pi orbitals, forming ionic bonds with partial covalent bond properties.

Solvate electrolytes for Li and Na batteries: structures, transport properties, and electrochemistry

Yosuke Ugata et al.

Summary: Polar solvents can dissolve Li and Na salts at high concentrations, forming complexes in the solution. The activity of uncoordinated solvent decreases with increasing salt concentration, eventually leading to the formation of solvates. Molten solvates exhibit unique characteristics such as high thermal stability and wide electrochemical window due to negligible activity of uncoordinated solvent. Solvent activity greatly influences electrochemical reactions in Li/Na batteries, highlighting the potential of molten solvates as promising electrolytes for next-generation batteries.
