The study used density functional theory (DFT) + solvent ion methodology to investigate the energetics of stepwise release of two surface metals, exploring different combinations of metal removal and unique patterns of defects formed on the NMC surface. The research found that a second metal removal preferably occurs at a metal lattice site adjacent to the initial defect, maintaining the most antiferromagnetic couplings between the remaining Ni/Mn.
The transformations of complex metal oxides in aqueous settings must be studied to form a chemical understanding of how technologically relevant nanomaterials impact the environment upon disposal. Owing to the inherent heterogeneity and structural complexity of the ternary intercalation material Li(NixMnyCo1-x-y)O-2 (NMC), the mechanisms of chemical processes at the solid-water interface are challenging to model. Here, density functional theory (DFT) + solvent ion methodology is used to study the energetics of stepwise release of two surface metals following unique pathways. The study spans different combinations of metal removal and also considers unique patterns of defects formed by modeling the NMC surface in supercells. The approach here also considers the equilibration of the surface with the surroundings between successive metal removals. A key finding is that a second metal removal prefers to proceed at a metal lattice site adjacent to the initial defect, and this is attributed in part to how the resulting slab with two metal vacancies maintains the most antiferromagnetic couplings between the remaining Ni/Mn.
