In this paper, applications of B30N30, B36N36, BNNT(8, 0), and BNNT(10, 0) as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results show that the average values of voltage cell (Vcell) and adsorption energy (Ead) of BNNT(8, 0) and BNNT(10, 0) were higher than B30N30 and B36N36 by approximately 0.405 V and 5.25 kcal/mol, respectively. The F functionalization of studied nanostructures as a strategy to improve the performance of these systems as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries was investigated. Results show that the F functionalization of studied nanostructures increases the average values of Vcell and Ead by approximately 0.182 V and 8.89 kcal/mol, respectively. Obtained results propose that F functionalized B36N36 and BNNT(10, 0) have larger Vcell and Ead values, and therefore, these nanostructures have a higher potential as anode materials for the lithium-ion battery.

AbstractIn this study, based on density functional theory, we propose a new branch of pseudo-fullerenes which contain triple bonds with sp hybridization. We call these new nanostructures fullerynes, according to IUPAC. We present four samples with the chemical formula of C4nHn, and the structures derived from fulleranes. We compare the structural and electronic properties of these structures with those of two common fullerenes and fulleranes systems. The calculated electron affinities of the sampled fullerynes are negative, and much smaller than those of fullerenes, so they should be chemically more stable than fullerenes. Although fulleranes also exhibit higher chemical stability than fullerynes, but pentagon or hexagon of the fullerane structures cannot pass ions and molecules. Applications of fullerynes can be included in the storage of ions and gases at the nanoscale. On the other hand, they can also be used as cathode/anode electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.
