    <p>Dear Shamik</p>
    <p>I certainly did not follow all the discussion but it seems to me
      that your objective is reachable if you properly define your
      parameters. <br>
    </p>
    <p>You mention that the band structure is finally not the essential
      point and you want to have a proper estimation of the voltage. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Here are two well-known problems: <br>
    </p>
    <p>- Li batteries voltage estimation is usually wrong and
      corrections must be applied (depending on the functional). I
      recommend the publications of Ceder's group. <br>
    </p>
    <p>- The choice of the functional may be crucial and for carbon GGA
      is sometimes not the best. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I will thus recommend first to choose your functional by
      estimating properly the band structure of the hexagonal cell of
      graphene and only after switch to the monoclinic cell to estimate
      the voltage. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best regards</p>
    <p>Xavier<br>

        <div>                    I think the structure as used by me
          & as can be used by downloading Graphene CIF file from
          material project database are same with different

          both the structures. In this regard lithiation voltage for
          both the cases should be same. However the bandstructures need
          special k points which is available for hexagonal lattice
          & not for this monoclinic lattice. However, if the
