In this sense, density functional simulations were carried out to investigate the efficiency of the inorganic graphenylene-like silicon carbide (IGP-SiC), a semiconductor with a band gap energy of 3.22 eV, as a promising anode for sodium-based batteries, with a specific capacity of 610.46 mAh.gāˆ’1 and an atomic proportion of Na1.92SiC without the metal clustering process. Also is revealed that IGP-SiC exhibits conductive behavior with the first approximation of a Na atom. A range of 1.65 eV āˆ’ 1.12 eV on Open-Circuit Voltage, an essential parameter in the commercial exploitation of batteries, was verified.engAdsorptionDFTGraphenyleneSiCSodium batteriesInorganic graphenylene-like silicon carbide as anode material for Na batteriesArtigo10.1016/j.flatc.2022.1004102-s2.0-85134683258
