Abstract Considerable efforts are being made to transition current lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries towards the use of solid-state electrolytes. Computational methods, specifically nudged elastic band (NEB) and molecular dynamics (MD) methods, provide powerful tools for the design of solid-state electrolytes. The MD method is usually the choice for studying the materials involving complex multiple diffusion paths or having disordered structures. However, it relies on simulations at temperatures much higher than working temperature. This paper studies the reliability of the MD method using the system of Na diffusion in MgO as a benchmark. We carefully study the convergence behavior of the MD method and demonstrate that total effective simulation time of 12 ns can converge the calculated diffusion barrier to about 0.01 eV. The calculated diffusion barrier is 0.31 eV from both methods. The diffusion coefficients at room temperature are $4.3\times 10^{-9}$ cm$^2\cdot$s$^{-1}$ and $2.2\times 10^{-9}$ cm$^2\cdot$s$^{-1}$, respectively, from the NEB and MD methods. Our results justify the reliability of the MD method, even though high temperature simulations have to be employed to overcome the limitation on simulation time.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
