TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the viability of Na-ion negative electrode materials based on Na alloys or hard carbons in terms of volumetric energy density and found that due to the increased size of the Na atom compared to the Li atom, Na-alloys would lead to negative electrode material with roughly half the energy density of their Li analogs.

Abstract: Na-ion batteries have been proposed as candidates for replacing Li-ion batteries. In this paper we examine the viability of Na-ion negative electrode materials based on Na alloys or hard carbons in terms of volumetric energy density. Due to the increased size of the Na atom compared to the Li atom, Na alloys would lead to negative electrode materials with roughly half the volumetric energy density of their Li analogs. Volumetric energy densities obtainable with sodiated hard carbons would also be significantly less than those obtainable with lithiated graphite. These findings highlight the need of novel ideas for Na-ion negative electrodes. VC 2011 The Electrochemical Society. [DOI: 10.1149/1.3607983] All rights reserved.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple
TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
Projector augmented-wave method
TL;DR: An approach for electronic structure calculations is described that generalizes both the pseudopotential method and the linear augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method in a natural way and can be used to treat first-row and transition-metal elements with affordable effort and provides access to the full wave function.
