Abstract The present project aims to study the structural and electronic properties of the porous silicon carbide (PSiC) monolayer applying Density Functional Theory (DFT) for periodic methods, in order to investigate its possible applicability as anode material in lithium-sodium batteries.SiC monolayers will be generated with a structure analogous to graphenylene (GP), which has attracted great scientific interest due to its well-defined porous network [1]. In addition to these characteristics, its promising application in next generation batteries and energy storage has been detailed in several studies [1-3]. Thus, this study also aims to obtain the porous silicon carbide monolayer analogous to GP, of which there are no reports in the literature, in order to investigate this structure in the trapping of Li and Na ions.In view of this, elucidating the electronic and structural properties of PSiC from the point of view of modeling and molecular simulation techniques is of great importance in advancing studies on this material in order to provide subsidies to theorists and experimentalists in this or other areas applications of this material. | |
