ABSTRACTDisodium terephthalate (Na2TP), which is a disodium salt of terephthalic acid, is very promising organic electrode material for Na-ion batteries. We present an ab initio study of Na binding mechanism with Na2TP molecule. Specially, we provide the interaction energy of Na atom(s), effect of Na concentration on interaction energy, electronic properties of clean and Na attached Na2TP, and Na binding mechanism with Na2TP. We show that up to eight Na atoms can be attached to a single Na2TP molecule. The interaction energy of Na atoms varies from -0.79 to -0.66 eV with attachment of one to eight Na atoms. The adsorbed Na atom interacts with O atoms of carboxylate group and Na atoms of the salt molecule. The interaction between adsorbed Na and C atoms of the molecule is found to be not important for Na bindings. Attachment of a single Na atom generates a singly occupied orbital which becomes doubly occupied with attachment of second Na atoms. Attachment of more than two Na atoms leads to electron occupation of bonding orbitals formed between Na atoms and the carboxylate groups.

According to high-level ab initio results (SCS-MP2/CBS), the interaction energy between all-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane and a benzene molecule is at least −6 kcal mol−1, remarkably large for C–H⋯π interactions between hydrocarbons.
