Adsorption and Diffusion of Lithium on Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (MoS 2(1–x)Se 2 x) Alloys

On the basis of first-principles plane-wave calculations, we examine the adsorption and diffusion of lithium on the hexagonal MoS 2(1– x ) Se 2 x monolayers with variation of x for 0.00, 0.33, 0.50, 0.66, and 1.00. We find that the lowest energy adsorption positions of Li adatom is at the top sit…
