Hi. I am calculation adsorption Li ion on carbon surface. I find Li ion is adsorbed effectively on the surface forming LiC5. Also on modifying the carbon atom assembly by doping N and H, the adsorption is maximum at N. Now the query is, is it mandatory to have Lic6 (like in graphene) for the Li ion to be adsorbed to cathode?
PS: I am trying to design a stable material for cathode in battery applications.
