Evaluation of cobalt oxides for calcium battery cathode applications

The identification of potential cathode materials is a requirement for the development of a rechargeable calcium based battery technology. In this work, we use Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to explore the electrode characteristics of three ternary calcium cobalt oxides with distinct C...
