Abstract

In this chapter we introduce the phenomenology of the electrochemical lithiation of graphite. Processes are discussed that happen during lithiation both within LixC6 as well as at the interface with the electrolyte. We then present the polymer electrolyte used, including its properties and positioning capabilities. The fabrication of bilayer graphene devices studied in this work is explained thereafter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The chemical potential of Li in, e.g., the cathode \(\mu ^{ {\circ }}_{\text {Li},c}=\mu _{\text {Li},c}^{\circ }+RT\ln a_c\) contains a standard value at standard conditions \(\mu _{\text {Li},c}^{\circ }\) and an activity (\(a_c\)) dependent term. The activity depends on the state of charge of the battery.

  2. 2.

    A higher Li density up to LiC\(_2\) may be achieved in high-pressure conditions [5].

  3. 3.

    Measured after rinsing the substrate in acetone and isopropanol, without any additional cleaning or surface activation steps.
