To understand the chemical doping effect on the lithium (Li) storage of graphene, we have performed first-principles calculations to study the adsorption and diffusion of Li adatoms on boron (B)- and nitrogen (N)-doped graphenes, which include individual and paired B (and N) dopants in graphene.

Due to the development of various mobile electronic devices, such as electric vehicles, rechargeable ion batteries are becoming more and more important. However, the current commercial lithium-ion batteries have obvious defects, including poor safety from Li dendrite and flammable electrolyte, quick capacity loss and low charging and discharging rate. It is very important to find a better two-dimensional material as the anode of the battery to recover the disadvantages. In this paper, first principles calculations are used to explore the performances of VS2 bilayer and VS2 / graphene heterostructure as the anodes of Li ion batteries. Based on the calculation of the valences, binding energy, intercalation voltage, charge transfer and diffusion barrier of Li, it is found that the latter can be used as a better anode material from the perspective of insertion voltage and binding energy. At the same time, the former one is better in terms of diffusion barrier. Our study provides a comprehensive understanding on VS2 based 2D anodes.

Using first principles calculations, we studied the stability and electronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers of the type MX2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, Cr, W; X= S, Se, Te). The adsorption and diffusion of lithium on the stable MX2 phase was also investigated for potential application as an anode for lithium ion batteries. Some of these compounds were found to be stable in the 2H phase and some are in the 1T or 1T' phase, but only a few of them were stable in both 2H/1T or 2H/1T' phases. The results show that lithium is energetically favourable for adsorption on MX2 monolayers, which can be semiconductors with a narrow bandgap and metallic materials. Lithium cannot be adsorbed onto 2H-WS2 and 2H-WSe2, which have large bandgaps of 1.66 and 1.96 eV, respectively. The diffusion energy barrier is in the range between 0.17 and 0.64 eV for lithium on MX2 monolayers, while for most of the materials it was found to be around 0.25 eV. Therefore, this work illustrated that most of the MX2 monolayers explored in this work can be used as promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries.
