Pith's one-line read HOP-graphene is a high-capacity anode for Li- and Na-ion batteries, with DFT-predicted capacities of 1338 and 1227 mAh/g.
desk verdict Competent, internally consistent DFT screening of HOP-graphene as a Li/Na anode, but the dismissal of a -0.5 THz imaginary phonon mode needs a real convergence test before the stability premise is fully trusted. read the letter →
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The carrying object is the HOP-graphene lattice: a rectangular 10-carbon unit cell that tiles into octagons, hexagons, and pentagons. The octagonal hollow is the deepest adsorption site for both Li and Na, the pentagonal bridges connecting adjacent octagons form the lowest-energy migration paths, and a large vacuum gap isolates a true monolayer in the calculations. The argument itself is carried by a density-functional-theory workflow, including a generalized-gradient exchange-correlation functional, projector-augmented-wave potentials, a dispersion correction, nudged-elastic-band transition searches, and Bader charge decomposition, which converts the ring geometry into adsorption energies, diffusion barriers, capacities, open-circuit voltages, and charge transfer. The key structural statement is that the pentagonal motif, not the hexagon, is what gives fast diffusion, and the octagonal pore is what gives high storage.
What would settle it
A phonon calculation in larger supercells with different pseudopotentials that still shows the -0.5 THz mode would mean the free-standing monolayer is dynamically unstable; on the experimental side, a synthesized HOP-graphene with measured Li or Na capacity far below the predicted values would contradict the central claim.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper claims that HOP-graphene, a rectangular two-dimensional carbon allotrope made of five-, six-, and eight-membered rings, is a high-performance anode material for both lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. On the basis of density functional theory, it reports that the monolayer binds single Li and Na atoms most strongly at the octagonal hollow sites, with adsorption energies of -2.92 eV and -2.32 eV, and that full double-sided loading reaches 24 Li or 22 Na atoms per 40-carbon cell. From these loadings it derives theoretical capacities of 1338 mAh/g (Li) and 1227 mAh/g (Na), against 372 and 35 mAh/g for graphite. Diffusion calculations give minimum barriers of 0.70 eV for Li and 0.39 eV for Na, both along a path through pentagonal bridges, and Bader analysis shows +0.89 e and +0.87 e transferred from the metal atoms to the carbon sheet. Average open-circuit voltages of 0.42 V and 0.33 V place the electrode inside the safe operating window, and the metallic character of the sheet is reported to survive full loading.
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that the small negative phonon frequency near -0.5 THz is a harmless numerical artifact; this is accepted on the authority of a cited -2 THz threshold instead of a convergence test, and if that mode is real the HOP-graphene sheet is unstable and none of the battery findings stand.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If the central claim is correct, the Li capacity of 1338 mAh/g is 3.6 times the 372 mAh/g of graphite anodes, so a HOP-graphene anode could cut anode mass roughly by that factor at full lithiation.
- The Na capacity of 1227 mAh/g is 35 times the 35 mAh/g of graphite, making sodium-ion chemistry far more competitive than it is on carbon.
- A room-temperature Na diffusion coefficient of 2.78e-6 cm2/s, with a 0.39 eV barrier, is orders of magnitude above Na in graphite, so fast charging would not be bottlenecked by sodium mobility.
- Average open-circuit voltages near 0.42 V for Li and 0.33 V for Na sit below the 1 V threshold for practical anodes, balancing cell voltage against the risk of metal plating.
- Because the monolayer is reported to remain metallic at full loading, the electrode would not lose its electrical conductivity as the battery charges.
Reading between the lines
- The same 5-6-8 ring geometry could be screened for potassium, magnesium, calcium, or aluminum ions; the pore size and charge-transfer pattern reported here suggest those chemistries are a natural next test, but the paper does not run it.
- The -0.5 THz mode is the cheapest place to check the prediction: a phonon calculation in larger supercells with different pseudopotentials would either confirm the artifact or invalidate the stability premise.
- The present numbers describe a pristine, defect-free monolayer; a real electrode will contain grain boundaries, vacancies, and contact layers, so practical capacities are likely lower until those effects are included.

Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript presents a first-principles study of HOP-graphene, a predicted 2D carbon allotrope with 5-6-8-membered rings, as an anode material for Li- and Na-ion batteries. Using PBE+DFT-D2, the authors compute the phonon dispersion, mechanical properties, adsorption energies, Bader charges, diffusion barriers via NEB, and open-circuit voltages. They report theoretical capacities of 1338 mAh/g for Li and 1227 mAh/g for Na, diffusion barriers of 0.70 eV (Li) and 0.39 eV (Na), and average OCVs of 0.42 V and 0.33 V, concluding that HOP-graphene is a promising high-capacity, safe anode.
Significance. If the reported properties are correct, HOP-graphene would compare favorably with previously proposed 2D carbon anodes, offering capacities more than three times that of graphite for Li and much higher for Na, while maintaining low diffusion barriers and safe OCV. The DFT calculations are performed with standard protocols, and the central quantities are derived directly from total energies with no fitting to target properties; the only empirical input is the attempt frequency in the Arrhenius diffusivity, which does not affect the barriers. The main weakness is the incomplete evidence for dynamic stability of the host structure, which underpins the adsorption, diffusion, capacity, and OCV calculations.
major comments (3)
- [Section 3.1, Fig. 1(b)] The -0.5 THz imaginary frequency near the Gamma point is dismissed by citing the -2 THz screening threshold of Wang et al. [55]. That threshold is an operational high-throughput criterion, not a demonstration that a Gamma-point acoustic mode is a numerical artifact. No convergence tests with respect to supercell size, k-point sampling, pseudopotential, or acoustic sum rule are reported. Because the dynamic stability of the pristine monolayer is the foundation for all subsequent adsorption, diffusion, capacity, and OCV calculations, the authors should provide a targeted phonon investigation (e.g., larger supercell, finite-displacement method with acoustic sum correction) to establish that the mode is an artifact. As written, the manuscript does not rule out the possibility that HOP-graphene is a saddle-point structure.
- [Sections 2 and 3.1/3.4] The AIMD simulations used as evidence of thermal stability are inconsistently described: Section 2 states a total simulation time of 5 ps, Section 3.1 reports 10 ps for the pristine monolayer, and Fig. 12 indicates 5 ps for the fully loaded systems. Moreover, a 5-10 ps trajectory is short relative to the period of a soft mode at -0.5 THz (about 2 ps) and cannot exclude a slow structural distortion. The authors should unify the reported times and, if the phonon convergence tests are inconclusive, extend the AIMD or perform replica exchange to justify the stability conclusion.
- [Section 3.4, Eq. (4)] The capacity calculation is not fully specified: the text reports a maximum loading of 24 Li and 22 Na atoms but never states the supercell size or the number of carbon atoms used for the host weight. The notation Li24C40 implies a 2x2 supercell of the 10-atom unit cell, but this is not stated explicitly, and the text also writes Na24C40 while reporting 22 Na atoms. Please specify the supercell, correct the Na formula, and confirm that the capacity values correspond to the stated loading.
minor comments (5)
- [Section 3.1] The extrema for Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio appear to be interchanged (313.45 vs. 347.67 N/m; 0.15 vs. 0.19), and the sentence describing negligible variation followed by exceptionally high anisotropy is contradictory. Please correct the numbers and wording.
- [Eq. (5)] The OCV formula is written with an unclear subscript E_substrate+xE_Li(Na) and appears to be missing the proper reference-state terms. Please rewrite the formula with consistent notation, for example OCV = -(E_{substrate+xA} - E_{substrate} - xE_A)/(xze).
- [Section 3.2] The figure callouts Figures 4(b) and 4(b) should be Figures 5(b) and 5(c).
- [Introduction and Sections 3.1/4] The ring composition is described as 4-, 5-, and 8-membered in the Introduction but as 5-, 6-, and 8-membered in the abstract and conclusions. Please harmonize these descriptions.
- [Data access statement] The statement that data can be accessed by contacting the corresponding author is not a reproducible data-sharing plan. Please provide a repository link or a detailed data availability statement.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: all central quantities (barriers, capacities, OCVs) are direct DFT outputs with no fitting to the target claims.
full rationale
The paper's derivation chain is first-principles throughout. Adsorption energies use Eq. (1) as direct DFT total-energy differences; NEB barriers are computed on the DFT potential-energy surface; capacities follow from Eq. (4) with n set by DFT loading; OCVs follow from Eq. (5) using the same adsorption energies. No parameter is fitted to the reported capacities, barriers, or voltages. The only empirical prefactor, nu0 = 1 x 10^13 Hz in Eq. (3), is a standard order-of-magnitude attempt frequency and affects D, not the barriers or capacities. Self-citations (refs. 19, 21, 38, 69, etc.) are used as literature comparisons or as prior structural characterizations, but the central HOP-graphene claims do not reduce to them. The apparent weak point—the -0.5 THz imaginary phonon mode dismissed via the -2 THz threshold of Wang et al. [55]—is a correctness/stability-convergence concern, not a circularity: the threshold is an external screening criterion, and the paper's own AIMD is independent evidence. Therefore no circular step can be quoted, and the appropriate score is 0.

The growing demand for efficient energy storage has driven the search for advanced anode materials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs). In this context, we report the application of HOP-graphene (a 5-6-8-membered 2D carbon framework) as a high-performance anode material for LIBs and SIBs using density functional theory simulations. Diffusion studies reveal low energy barriers of 0.70 eV for Li and 0.39 eV for Na, indicating superior mobility at room temperature compared to other carbon allotropes, like graphite. Full lithiation and sodiation accommodate 24 Li and 22 Na atoms, respectively, delivering outstanding theoretical capacities of 1338 mAh/g (Li) and 1227 mAh/g (Na). Bader charge analysis and charge density difference maps confirm substantial electron transfer from the alkali metals to the substrate. Average open-circuit voltages of 0.42 V (Li) and 0.33 V (Na) suggest favorable electrochemical performance. HOP-graphene also demonstrates excellent mechanical strength. These findings position HOP-graphene as a promising candidate for next-generation LIB and SIB anodes.
