Ab Initio Investigations of Lithium Diffusion in Carbon Nanotube Systems

Meunier, Vincent, Kephart, Jeremy, Roland, Christopher, Bernholc, Jerry·2002·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Li-nanotube systems can substantially improve the capacity of Li-ion batteries by utilizing both nanotube exteriors and interiors. Our ab initio simulations show that while Li motion through the sidewalls is forbidden, Li ions can enter tubes through topological defects containing at least nine-sided rings, or through the ends of open-ended nanotubes. Once inside, their motion is not diffusion limited. These results suggest that "damaging" nanotube ropes by either chemical or mechanical means will yield superior material for electrochemical storage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
