          Dear Shamik,<br>
          <br>
          To my point of view using the strategy (1) is not correct. I
          understand that B will require a different treatment in ABS2
          and pure B phases.<br>
          <br>
          You certainly has no other choice than using hybrid functional
          for all calculations ... and then you will be able to compare
          to the results of strategy (2).<br>

          <br>
                                     I have studied the intercalation of
          A in BS2 to form ABS2. In this calculation, I have used
          Hubbard U for B in BS2, and in ABS2 & I got reasonable
          voltage.<br>
          However, now I want to study the voltage corresponding to the
          conversion reaction; ABS2 + A =2A2S +B. In this case, B is a
          metal & hence to simulate the voltage<br>
          (1) Should I need to consider the energy value corresponding
          to GGA+U approach applied to ABS2 or,<br>
          (2) Should I need to consider the energy value corresponding
          to GGA approach applied to ABS2<br>
          <br>
          As A & A2S & B have been simulated using GGA.<br>
          <br>
          Looking forward to your reply in this regard.<br>
