The electrical conductivity of Li2O2 is also influenced on the life time of the battery. There has been reported that a hole forming by the defect of Li palys a important role in the electrical conductivity of Li2O2. In this study, we model the formation of deposited Li2O2 layer as well as the forming process of the crystal defect, from the point of view of diffusion of Li2O2 cluster on the cathode surface. We calculate the sintering and diffusion processes of the discharge product Li2O2 on the carbon surface using a first-principles molecular dynamics method. We also examine how Li2O2 is deposited on the carbon surface. As a result, it deposited on the cluster shape up to the thickness of 3 " at 300 K. It is observed that the band gap of the Li2O2 is related to the thickness and it rapidly increases when it exceeds the 8 ". Diffusivity decreases in proportion to the increase in the size of Li2O2 cluster. Calculated diffusion coefficient of Li2O2 is revealed to the effect on the electrical conductivity of Li2O2. From these results, we investigate the effect of electrical conductivity of Li2O2 on the discharge curve analyzing by a numerical simulation. Conductivity shows little effect on the discharge curve. Therefore, It is concluded that a pore blocking is major factor of capacity of Li-O2 battery. This is the first study will be able to provide a breakthrough for the development of better Li-O2 battery.

Journal: Journal of Material Research, Publisher: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, Ranking:Q2 IF = 2.9 Abstract: In this study, the density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were conducted to determine the equilibrium conformation of Pt2Ru3 nanoparticles with diameters 1.0–3.5 nm at finite temperature. DFT calculations were carried out to estimate the binding energy using slab configurations and energy could be correlated with some structural descriptors and multilinear regression equations to calculate the binding energy from descriptors related to the number of a specific bond to neighboring atoms. MC simulations were carried out to obtain the equilibrium conformation of atoms in Pt2Ru3 at 150–363 K. MC simulations’ result shows that atoms of the same element tend to segregate each other, and Pt/Ru ratio on the surface increases with increasing particle size; also, most of the Pt are located on the surface whereas most of the Ru are located on the subsurface or at the core sites. It is qualitatively exhibited that the Pt/Ru ratio on the surface decreases with increasing temperature. |

Journal: Chemical Physics, Publisher: Elsevier, Ranking: Q2, IF=3.9 Abstract: Durability of organo-lead are important issue for its practical application in a solar cells. In this study, using (DFT) and , we theoretically investigated a crystal structure, electronic structure, and ionic of the partially substituted cubic MA0.5X0.5PbI3 (MA = CH3NH3+, X = NH4+ or (NH2)2CH+ or Cs+). Our calculation results indicate that a partial substitution of MA induces a , resulting in preventing MA or X from the diffusion between A sites in the . DFT calculations show that electronic structures of the investigated partially substituted perovskites were similar with that of MAPbI3, while their bandgaps slightly decrease compared to that of MAPbI3. Our results mean that partial substitution in perovskite is effective technique to suppress diffusion of intrinsic ions and tune the band gap.

Journal: Journal of Materials Research, Publisher: Springer Link, IF: 2.9 Abstract: This paper presents a periodic density functional theory study on the adsorption of H, CO, and OH on Pt2Ru3 alloy surfaces containing different conformations of Pt and Ru atoms. The results show that for separate adsorption, H is preferentially adsorbed at Pt sites, whereas CO and OH are preferentially adsorbed at Ru sites. The adsorption strengths of H, CO, and OH are affected by ratio of the alloying atoms in top surface, the nature of the neighboring atom nearest to the adsorption site, and the conformation of alloying atoms in subsurface. We also investigated the coadsorption of CO with OH and the coadsorption of CO with H and found that the Pt–CO bond strength weakens. We also uncovered some information about the competitive adsorption behavior of adsorbates (CO, OH) with the aim of designing CO-tolerant Pt–Ru alloy catalysts. |

Journal: Chemical Record, Publisher:Wiley Rankin: Q1, IF= 7.5 Abstract: Third-generation solar cells are understood to be the pathway to overcoming the issues and drawbacks of the existing solar cell technologies. Since the introduction of graphene in solar cells, it has been providing attractive properties for the next generation of solar cells. Currently, there are more theoretical predictions rather than practical recognitions in third-generation solar cells. Some of the potential of graphene has been explored in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), but it has yet to be fully comprehended in the recent third-generation inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite solar cells. In this review, the diverse role of graphene in third-generation OPVs and DSSCs will be deliberated to provide an insight on the prospects and challenges of graphene in inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite solar cells. |

Journal: ECS Transactions, Publisher: Electrochemical Society, IF= 0.7 Abstract:In this work, we present results of periodic density functional theory study of the adsorption of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydroxyl (OH) on Pt2Ru3 alloy surface for different conformation of Pt and Ru. These results were compared with CO and OH adsorption on pure Pt and Ru surfaces. We find that the mixing of Pt by Ru leads to stronger bond of CO and OH to the Ru sites, whereas weaker bond notice of CO and OH to the Pt sites. We also analyze the effect of surface, sub surface and neighboring atoms effect on the adsorption of CO and OH on the Pt2Ru3 alloy surface. We notice that surface mixture with Pt and Ru atoms is more favourable adsorption sites for CO and OH than that of the homogeneous alloy surfaces. |

Journal: ECS Transactions, Publisher: Electrochemical Society, IF: 0.7 Abstract: It is well known that Pt-Ru alloy exhibits a promising catalytic activity for fuel cells. In this work we present density functional theory (DFT) study of the randomly mixed Pt-Ru alloys and discussed its stability based on the relative position of Pt and Ru atoms. The structures are modelled as five layer slabs because the ratio of surface atoms comparable with that for clusters about 3 nm sizes. The top surface fully covered by the Pt atom exhibits highest stability compared with other randomly mixed Pt-Ru alloys. We also discuss here the probability of Pt-Ru bond ratio (MPt-Ru/MPt-Ru+MPt-Pt) in the Pt-Ru alloy decreases with increasing the surface atom ratio (surface atom/Total number of atom), which is compared with available X-ray absorption fine structure data. |

Journal: ECS Transactions, Publisher: Electrochemical Society, IF:0.7 Abstract: In recent years, Li-O2 battery has received a great attention as a battery with high capacity and energy density. However, further studies are needed for the use of practical application to solve the issues must be overcome, such as lithium dendrites, side reactions of electrolyte, a blocking effect of diffusion path of oxygen and a corrosion of carbon. In this study we focus on, among from these issues, a blocking effect of diffusion path of oxygen in the cathode, which is the most important issue to realized the high capacity. Discharge products would inhibit oxygen diffusion in a cathode. Main discharge product is Li2O2. In this study we also focus on a dynamics of Li2O2. Li2O2 is generated from electrochemical reaction and will cover with the surface of the cathode resulting in the termination of further electrochemical reaction. Thus, the elucidation of dynamics of Li2O2 cluster on cathode surface is a key problem for the better understand of the life time of battery and the theoretical design of more improved Li-O2 battery. |
