A refined set of inter-atomic models represents the structural and transport properties of honeycomb layered oxides in Na 2 LiFeTeO 6 , in excellent agreement with the experimental results. This potential model can be leveraged to garner distinct atomistic insights such as the entropic contribution in cationic distribution and the ring-like cationic diffusion from the population density profile, the free energy barrier, the self-van Hove correlation, and the log-log MSD plot. Therefore, an MD simulation provides a new avenue to test the ion dynamics of various honeycomb layered oxides. Particularly, the entropic contribution and the distinct ring-like feature that controls fast ion transport in solids is interesting in applications beyond honeycomb layered oxides.
