class ConversionElectrode(voltage_pairs, working_ion_entry, initial_comp)[source]

Bases: pymatgen.apps.battery.battery_abc.AbstractElectrode

Class representing a ConversionElectrode.

General constructor for ConversionElectrode. However, it is usually easier to construct a ConversionElectrode using one of the static constructors provided.

Parameters

  • voltage_pairs – The voltage pairs making up the Conversion Electrode.

  • working_ion_entry – A single ComputedEntry or PDEntry representing the element that carries charge across the battery, e.g. Li.

  • initial_comp – Starting composition for ConversionElectrode.

as_dict()[source]

A JSON serializable dict representation of an object.

property composition[source]
static from_composition_and_entries(comp, entries_in_chemsys, working_ion_symbol='Li', allow_unstable=False)[source]

Convenience constructor to make a ConversionElectrode from a composition and all entries in a chemical system.

Parameters

  • comp – Starting composition for ConversionElectrode, e.g., Composition(“FeF3”)

  • entries_in_chemsys – Sequence containing all entries in a chemical system. E.g., all Li-Fe-F containing entries.

  • working_ion_symbol – Element symbol of working ion. Defaults to Li.

static from_composition_and_pd(comp, pd, working_ion_symbol='Li', allow_unstable=False)[source]

Convenience constructor to make a ConversionElectrode from a composition and a phase diagram.

Parameters

  • comp – Starting composition for ConversionElectrode, e.g., Composition(“FeF3”)

  • pd – A PhaseDiagram of the relevant system (e.g., Li-Fe-F)

  • working_ion_symbol – Element symbol of working ion. Defaults to Li.

  • allow_unstable – Allow compositions that are unstable

classmethod from_dict(d)[source]
get_sub_electrodes(adjacent_only=True)[source]

If this electrode contains multiple voltage steps, then it is possible to use only a subset of the voltage steps to define other electrodes. For example, an LiTiO2 electrode might contain three subelectrodes: [LiTiO2 –> TiO2, LiTiO2 –> Li0.5TiO2, Li0.5TiO2 –> TiO2] This method can be used to return all the subelectrodes with some options

Parameters

adjacent_only – Only return electrodes from compounds that are adjacent on the convex hull, i.e. no electrodes returned will have multiple voltage steps if this is set true

Returns

A list of ConversionElectrode objects

get_summary_dict(print_subelectrodes=True)[source]
Parameters

print_subelectrodes – Also print data on all the possible subelectrodes

Returns

a summary of this electrode”s properties in dictionary format

is_super_electrode(conversion_electrode)[source]

Checks if a particular conversion electrode is a sub electrode of the current electrode. Starting from a more lithiated state may result in a subelectrode that is essentially on the same path. For example, a ConversionElectrode formed by starting from an FePO4 composition would be a super_electrode of a ConversionElectrode formed from an LiFePO4 composition.

property voltage_pairs[source]

Returns all the VoltagePairs

property working_ion[source]

The working ion as an Element object

property working_ion_entry[source]

The working ion as an Entry object

class ConversionVoltagePair(balanced_rxn, voltage, mAh, vol_charge, vol_discharge, mass_charge, mass_discharge, frac_charge, frac_discharge, entries_charge, entries_discharge, working_ion_entry)[source]

Bases: pymatgen.apps.battery.battery_abc.AbstractVoltagePair
