Ultrafast diffusive cross-sheet motion of lithium through antimonene with a 2+1 dimensional kinetics by Kistanov, Andrey A., Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Cai, Yongqing, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhou, Kun, Zhang, Yong-Wei

“…The advent of the vertically permeable channels opens a new pathway for lithium besides the normal motion along the basal plane, giving 2 + 1 dimensional kinetics. Specifically, our first-principles calculations combined with discrete geometry analysis revealed that the energy barrier for a lithium atom to diffuse across the antimonene sheet is as low as 0.36 eV, which can be further reduced to 0.18 eV under a tensile strain of 4%. …”
