ABSTRACT:

      By combining density functional theory (DFT) calculation, thermodynamics consideration, and finite element simulation, impact of doping and substitution on electro-chemo-mechanical properties of Li- and Na-based cathodes is studied. It is shown that calculation of magnetic moment using DFT with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals can help us to understand the redox mechanism of active materials. Application of this approach to layered oxide materials is presented [1]. Besides oxidation state of ions, cation migration, and lattice parameters change with charge/discharge are predicted. Moreover, relation between composition, oxygen and transition metal redox, phase transition, and cation migration is discussed. In addition, it is shown that how a multiscale-modeling approach can be used to model microstructures and simulate microcracking of layered oxide materials over cycling [2].
