基于六方氮化硼与石墨烯异质结的锂电池负极材料的第一性原理研究

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,研究了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了最稳定的异质结堆垛结构。计算了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的层间耦合界面的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,说明这些结构有良好的导电性。计算了锂原子在不同吸附位点之间扩散势垒,较低的能垒和较短的迁移路径可以保证锂原子在迁移过程中的效率,提高电池的充放电速率。计算了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1154 mAh·g–1。展现出较大的理论比容量潜力。这些结果表明,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 was systematically studied using first–principles methods. The most stable heterojunction stacking structure was identified based on maximum binding energy. Lithium adsorption energies were calculated at high–symmetry sites on the outer surfaces of both materials and at the interlayer interface. Density of states calculations showed a non–zero density at the Fermi level for both pristine and lithium–adsorbed heterojunctions, indicating good electrical conductivity. The LST–QST method was used to calculate lithium diffusion barriers between adsorption sites, revealing that lower energy barriers and shorter paths enable efficient lithium migration, which can improve battery charge–discharge capacity. Open–circuit voltage and theoretical specific capacity were calculated as lithium atoms were sequentially added by layer. With three lithium layers adsorbed, the open–circuit voltage is 1.18 V and the theoretical specific capacity is 1154 mAh/g, demonstrating great potential for high theoretical capacity. These findings indicate that hBN/Graphene heterojunctions are promising candidates for high–performance lithium–ion battery anodes.
