摘要:

MXene的可调特性使其成为未来纳米电子学中许多应用的优秀候选者。在这项工作中,我们探索的适用性Sc $_2$ CX(X=N $_2$,ON,O $_2$)MXenes作为活性阳极材料在钠离子电池(NIB)的\textsl{ab initio}模拟。在分析了所有可能的模型的结构和弹性性质,以评估能量上有利的N和O官能化位点后,我们的计算表明,Sc $_2$ CON和Sc $_2$ CN $_2$呈现出明显的金属特征,使它们成为潜在的候选阳极材料。对阳极性能的最相关特征(例如Na原子的吸附和扩散、本征容量、开路电压和存储容量)的研究表明,这两种系统都是碱金属电池中目前采用的最常见的2D材料的重要替代品。特别地,Sc $_2$ CN $_2$由于在其表面上不存在Na簇集而呈现出更好的扩散行为,具有与诸如MoN $_2$的其它2D材料相当的最佳扩散势垒,而Sc $_2$ CON的扩散势垒值比对于其它阳极候选物所发现的扩散势垒值小至少三倍。类似地,虽然Sc $_2$ CON的容量接近于2D Sc $_2$ C所报道的容量,但Sc $_2$ CN $_2$具有比诸如Sc $_2$ C、石墨和MoS $_2$的2D材料的功率密度高两倍以上的功率密度。因此,我们的结果证实了进一步实验探索MXene Sc $_2$ CX(X=N $_2$,ON,O $_2$)家族作为NIB中阳极材料的迫切性。

英文摘要:

MXenes' tunable properties make them excellent candidates for many applications in future nanoelectronics. In this work, we explore the suitability of Sc$_2$CX (X=N$_2$, ON, O$_2$) MXenes to act as the active anode materials in Na-ion based batteries (NIBs) by means of \textsl{ab initio} simulations. After analyzing the structural and elastic properties of all the possible models to evaluate the energetically favorable N and O functionalization sites, our calculations show that both Sc$_2$CON and Sc$_2$CN$_2$ present a clear metallic character, making them potential candidates as anode materials. The investigation of the most relevant features for anode performance, such as the adsorption and diffusion of Na atoms, the intrinsic capacity, the open circuit voltage, and the storage capacity show that both systems are serious alternatives to the most common 2D materials currently employed in alkali metal batteries. In particular, Sc$_2$CN$_2$ presents a better diffusion behavior thanks to the absence of Na clustering on its surface, with optimal diffusion barriers comparable to other 2D materials such as MoN$_2$, while the values of diffusion barriers for Sc$_2$CON are at least three times smaller than those found for other anode candidates. Similarly, while the capacity of Sc$_2$CON is close to the one reported for 2D Sc$_2$C, Sc$_2$CN$_2$ possesses a power density more than twice higher than the ones of 2D materials such as Sc$_2$C, graphite, and MoS$_2$. Our results thus confirm the urge for further experimental exploration of the MXene Sc$_2$CX (X=N$_2$, ON, O$_2$) family as anode material in NIBs.
