Na, K and Ca-ion battery electrode materials with appropriate electrochemicalproperties are desirable candidates for replacing lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)because of their natural richness and low cost. Recently, MoO2 has beenreported as the anode material in LIBs, but so far not received attention in Naand other ion batteries. In this paper, the behaviors of Na, K, and Ca on MoO2are investigated by first-principles calculations. These metal atoms stronglyabsorb on the hexagonal center of MoO2 and the adsorption results insemiconducting-metallic transition. The low diffusion barrier, 0.13, 0.08, 0.22eV for Na, K, Ca, respectively, leads to an ultrahigh diffusivity. Importantly,the maximum metal-storage phases of MoO2 monolayer correspond to Na4MoO2,K2.5MoO2 and Ca3MoO2, with considerable theoretical specific capacities of 837,523 and 1256 mAh g-1. The electrode materials exhibit moderate average voltageof 0.30, 0.75, 0.35 V, respectively. Our findings suggest that MoO2 monolayercan be utilized as a promising anode material with high capacities and highrate performance for next generation ion batteries.
