Inquisitive Geometric Sites in h-BN Monolayer for Alkali Earth Metal Ion Batteries
Electrochemical energy storage has been at the center of interest over the past years due to the ever-faster technological development and the need for high- capacity batteries with high voltages and energy densities. Alkali batteries show the greatest potential for improving current characteristics, and this work examines several hexagonal boron nitride configurations as electrodes for ion batteries. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory have been used to study structural, electronic, and electrochemical properties of a graphenelike hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayer for various point defects. The maximum theoretical capacities for alkali earth metal ions adsorbed on the h-B 9N8 monolayer are 762.264, 571.698, and 127.044 mAh/g, and average electrode potentials are 0.188, 0.009, and 5.735 V for the adsorption of Li+, Na+, and K+, respectively. Studied structures have been explored for the use as anode materials to hold alkali metal ions, namely, Li+, K+, and Na+, and we have found that for some cases, the alkali metal−h-BN structure shows metallic character, which leads to good electrical conductivity, without the change of structural geometry. Our results show that studied materials have characteristics suitable for the electrode-based ion batteries.
