Battery Performance from a Computational Perspective: Quantum Analysis of Ionization Energy in Alkali Metals
By Elise Henry, Clara LaMoy Faculty Mentor: Dr. Leanna Giancarlo Abstract Lithium-ion batteries dominate modern energy storage; however, alternative alkali metals, such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K), are being explored due to lithium (Li) resource limitations and performance optimization needs. Ionization energy, defined as the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral…
