摘要

The search for promising materials for ion batteries is one of the major challenges in modern electrochemistry. To this end, we performed a theoretical analysis of crystal space in ca. 450 oxohalides using data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. We identified 115 compounds that had wide voids and channels accessible to Na+-ions migration and had not been previously identified as conductors. We then subjected them to a series of quantitative calculations. Using the bond valence site energy method, we identified 85 compounds with Na+ migration energies (Em) less than 0.95 eV. Next, we applied kinetic Monte Carlo to calculate the ionic conductivity at room temperature (Ϭrt). This allowed to select six promising conductors with Ϭrt ≥ 10−5 S cm−1 (Na2NbOF5, sp.gr.: Pbcn; Na2MgGd2(SiO3)4F2, sp.gr.: P2/c; Na5V3O3F11, sp.gr.: P42212; NaBe2(BO3)F2, sp.gr.: C2; Na3(B6O10)Br, sp.gr.: Pnma; Na4V2O2F8, sp.gr.: C2/c). Finally, we calculated the Em and band gap using density functional theory.
