Abstract: | Electrochemical intercalation of lithium into multiwall carbon nanotubes produced by the arc-electric technique has been carried out in button cells to estimate the solid state diffusion coefficients of lithium. An extension of the Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (G.I.T.T.) of Weppner and Huggins and further developed by Honders is employed. The results are interpreted providing that the lithium species enter the nanotubes perpendicularly to their walls and thus give rise to a necklace structure as observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Finally, the results are compared with the data obtained for different kinds of carbon: carbon fiber, petroleum coke and graphite. Paper presented at the 6th Euroconference on Solid State Ionics, Cetraro, Calabria, Italy, Sept. 12–19, 1999. |
