Capacities of carbon, germanium, aluminum nitride, and aluminum phosphide nanotubes and nanocages as anode electrodes in Li-, Na-, and Mg-ion batteries
摘要
In this study, the capacities of C, Ge, AlN, and AlP nanostructures in batteries are investigated. The electrochemical parameters of O-, S-, and N-doped C, Ge, AlN, and AlP nanostructures in batteries are calculated and compared with corresponding in previous works. The O-, S-, and N-doped C, Ge, AlP, and AlN nanocages have the negative Ecohesive and Eadoption and these nanostructures can be considered as materials in batteries. The theoretical capacities of C nanocages in batteries are decreased when the numbers of C atoms are increased. The O, S, and N adoption of C, Ge, AlN, and AlP nanostructures increased their stabilities and electrochemical parameters in batteries. The AlN nanostructures in batteries have the highest electrochemical parameters and the C nanostructures have the lowest Vcell and Ctheory. Finally, the AlNNT(9, 0), AlPNT(8, 0), and Al30N30 nanostructures are proposed in Mg-ion batteries with the highest capacities.
