Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have great advantages for energy storage and conversion due to their low cost and large storage capacity. Currently, NaRhO2 is used as an electrode material for sodium-ion batteries. Doping first- and second-row transition metals has been carried out to comprehensively assess NaRhO2 as a cathode material. The geometric and electronic structures and electrochemical and doping behaviors of NaRhO2 cathode materials for SIBs have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the bond lengths of Rh-O in NaRhO2 decrease during sodium deintercalation. The band gap of NaRhO2 with sodium extraction gradually reduces. The density of states of NaxRhO2 shows that the interaction between the Rh-4d and O-2p orbitals increases and the orbitals shift toward the right. The average intercalation voltage of NaxRhO2 cathode material increased from 2.7 to 3.9 eV. After doping with first- and second-row transition metal elements from Sc to Zn and Y to Cd, the changes in the band gaps of the doped NaRhO2 materials exhibit a W-type rule. In contrast, their magnetic moments show a reverse W-type rule. These findings on the pristine and doped NaRhO2 can provide theoretical guidance for the preparation of novel electrode materials suitable for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium transition metal layered oxides are a class of materials which exhibits fascinating properties, such as high thermoelectric power. Whereas most of the work conducted so far focused on 3d transition metals, mainly cobalt, compounds with 4d metals could be excellent materials to obtain new strongly correlated electron systems. This work is focused on Na xRhO2 compounds, with O3- and P2-type structures. The P2-type structure was obtained by ion exchange from the potassium phase P2-K0.62RhO2. This type of synthesis was conducted here for the first time on layered oxides with 4d transition metals. The phase diagram of both structures was explored by sodium electrochemical deintercalation/intercalation in a battery. The existence of single phases was shown with presumably different physical properties. As an example, the O'3-Na1/2RhO2 compound electrochemically obtained for the first time exhibits a metallic behavior, whereas the O3-NaRhO2 phase is a semiconductor. The synthesis of each single phase existing in both the O3- and P2-type systems should lead to new insights into the structure-properties relationships of this class of materials.

Abstract
The rhodium(III) hydrogarnets Ca3Rh2(OH)12 and Sr3Rh2(OH)12 crystallize as polycrystalline powders under hydrothermal conditions at 200 °C from RhCl3·3H2O and either Ca(OH)2 or Sr(OH)2 in either 12 M NaOH or KOH. Rietveld refinements against synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data allow the first crystal structures of the two materials to be determined. If BaO2 is used as a reagent and the concentration of hydroxide increased to hydroflux conditions (excess NaOH), then single crystals of a new complex rhodium hydroxide, BaNaRh(OH)6, are formed in a phase-pure sample, with sodium included from the flux. Structure solution from single-crystal XRD data reveals isolated octahedral Rh centers that share hydroxides with 10-coordinate Ba and two independent 8-coordinate Na sites. 23Na magic-angle spinning NMR confirms the presence of the two crystallographically distinct Na sites and also verifies the diamagnetic nature of the sample, expected for Rh(III). The thermal behavior of the hydroxides on heating in air was investigated using X-ray thermodiffractometry, showing different decomposition pathways for each material. Ca3Rh2(OH)12 yields CaRh2O4 and CaO above 650 °C, from which phase-pure CaRh2O4 is isolated by washing with dilute nitric acid, a material previously only reported by high-pressure or high-temperature synthesis. Sr3Rh2(OH)12 decomposes to give a less crystalline material with a powder XRD pattern that is matched to the 2H-layered hexagonal perovskite Sr6Rh5O15, which contains mixed-valent Rh3+/4+, confirmed by Rh K-edge XANES spectroscopy. On heating BaNaRh(OH)6, a complex set of decomposition events takes place via transient phases.

High-efficient thermoelectric materials: The case of orthorhombic IV-VI compounds. Sci Rep 2015; 5:9567. [PMID: 26045338 PMCID: PMC4456729 DOI: 10.1038/srep09567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2014] [Accepted: 03/11/2015] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Improving the thermoelectric efficiency is one of the greatest challenges in materials science. The recent discovery of excellent thermoelectric performance in simple orthorhombic SnSe crystal offers new promise in this prospect [Zhao et al. Nature 508, 373 (2014)]. By calculating the thermoelectric properties of orthorhombic IV-VI compounds GeS,GeSe,SnS, and SnSe based on the first-principles combined with the Boltzmann transport theory, we show that the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of orthorhombic SnSe are in agreement with the recent experiment. Importantly, GeS, GeSe, and SnS exhibit comparative thermoelectric performance compared to SnSe. Especially, the Seebeck coefficients of GeS, GeSe, and SnS are even larger than that of SnSe under the studied carrier concentration and temperature region. We also use the Cahill's model to estimate the lattice thermal conductivities at the room temperature. The large Seebeck coefficients, high power factors, and low thermal conductivities make these four orthorhombic IV-VI compounds promising candidates for high-efficient thermoelectric materials.
