Abstract
By means of density functional theory computations, we systematically investigated the adsorption and diffusion of lithium on the recently synthesized VS2 monolayer, in comparison with MoS2 monolayer and graphite. Intrinsically metallic, VS2 monolayer has a higher theoretical capacity (466 mAh/g), a lower or similar Li diffusion barrier as compared to MoS2 and graphite, and has a low average open-circuit voltage of 0.93 V (vs Li/Li+). Our results suggest that VS2 monolayer can be utilized as a promising anode material for Li ion batteries with high power density and fast charge/discharge rates.
