A model of the interactions between disordered carbon and lithium

Nitrogen-containing polymeric carbon as anode material for lithium ion secondary battery

“…21 Of course, since the activity of these imperfect structures is very high and can bond with lithium, they have been suggested to be the cause of the increase in reversible capacity. 26,27 In fact, these imperfect structures are situated at the surface of graphite crystallites or exist in the disordered areas. Even though they contribute to an increase in reversible capacity, the interaction between them and lithium could not last long since the lithium thereof is very active and can react with electrolyte molecules such as DEC and EC in an electrolyte solution.…”

Insertion Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

“…If the heat treatment proceeds at higher temperatures and the fraction of stacked layers with graphitic order increases, the specific charge also increases. [573,574] [554], and d) [563]. Fig.…”

Electrospun porous carbon nanofibers as lithium ion battery anodes

“…By contrast, when the lowcrystalline carbon materials are used as an anode material, lithium is not only intercalated between graphitic layers but also located at the edge of the graphitic layer and on the surface of the crystallite. The three kinds of interaction between carbon and lithium allow the low-crystalline carbon materials to store more lithium than graphite [45,46]. Additionally, the carbon materials thermally treated at low temperatures exhibit internal porosity and heteroatoms, which can also contribute to the specific capacity [47].…”
