摘要：

The interaction of lithium peroxide (Li2O2) with carbon electrodes in Li-air batteries is studied with model systems of graphene-intercalated Li2O2, using density functional theory (DFT) methods. Although both the Li2O2 bulk and its stoichiometric surface structures (without single O atoms) are insulating, the incorporation of graphene sheets into the Li2O2 introduces hole states in the oxygen orbitals due to the electron transfer from the anti-bonding O-2 orbitals to the graphene sheets. This indicates that carbon sheets not only provide conducting channels by themselves, but they also open new channels in Li2O2. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
