First-principles Study on Lithium Battery Anode Materials Based on Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Graphene Heterojunctions

  • 摘要: 基于第一性原理方法,研究六方氮化硼与石墨烯异质结(hBN/Graphene)作为锂离子电池的负极材料时的性能。根据结合能最大原则确定最稳定的异质结堆垛结构。计算锂原子分别吸附在石墨烯外表面、六方氮化硼外表面以及六方氮化硼和石墨烯层间耦合界面高对称吸附位点的吸附能。态密度计算表明无论是纯净的异质结还是三种吸附了锂原子的异质结在费米能级处的态密度都不为零,说明这些结构具有良好的导电性。计算锂原子在不同吸附位点之间扩散势垒,计算逐个添加锂原子和逐层增加锂原子时异质结的开路电压和理论比容量,当吸附三层锂原子时,开路电压为1.18 V,理论比容量为1 154 mAh·g–1,展现出较大的理论比容量潜力。研究结果表明,hBN/Graphene异质结有望作为锂离子电池的高性能负极材料。

     

    Abstract: The performance of hexagonal boron nitride and graphene heterojunctions (hBN/Graphene) as anode materials for lithium–ion batteries is systematically studied using first–principles methods. The most stable heterojunction stacking structure is identified based on maximum binding energy. Lithium adsorption energies are calculated at high–symmetry sites on the outer surfaces of both materials and at the interlayer interface. Density of states calculations shows a non–zero density at the Fermi level for both pristine and lithium–adsorbed heterojunctions, indicating good electrical conductivity. Calculate the diffusion barrier of lithium atoms between different adsorption sites by LST-QST method, and calculate the open-circuit voltage and theoretical specific capacity as lithium atoms sequuentially layer by layer. With three lithium layers adsorbed, the open–circuit voltage is 1.18 V and the theoretical specific capacity is 1154 mAh·g–1, demonstrating great potential for high theoretical capacity. These findings indicate that hBN/Graphene heterojunctions are promising candidates for high–performance lithium–ion battery anodes.
