Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the Li-graphite system from first-principles calculations

We present an ab initio study of the thermodynamics and kinetics of Li [subscript x]C[subscript 6], relevant for anode Li intercalation in rechargeable Li batteries. In graphite, the interlayer interactions are dominated by Van der Waals forces, which are not captured with standard density-functiona...
