Chevrier, Geoffroy Hautier, Anubhav Jain, Charles Moore, Sangtae Kim, Xiaohua Ma and Gerbrand Ceder * A 2 Received 20th May 2011, Accepted 20th June 2011 8 7 DOI: 10.1039/c1ee01782a 1 0 E E 1 C To evaluate the potential of Na-ion batteries, we contrast in this work the difference between Na-ion / 9 3 and Li-ion based intercalation chemistries in terms of three key battery properties—voltage, phase 0 1 . 2 0 stability and diffusion barriers. The compounds investigated comprise the layered AMO2 and AMS2 1 1 0 : 2 i o structures, the olivine and maricite AMPO structures, and the NASICON A V (PO ) structures. The 4 3 2 4 3 y d l | u g calculated Na voltages for the compounds investigated are 0.18–0.57 V lower than that of the J r 8 o 1 c. corresponding Li voltages, in agreement with previous experimental data. We believe the
