Introduction:

Although, in the carbon family, graphite is the most thermodynamically stable allotrope, conversion of other carbon allotropes, even amorphous carbons, into graphite is extremely hard. A simple electrochemical route for the graphitization of amorphous carbons through cathodic polarization in molten CaCl2 at temperatures of about 1100 K, generates porous graphite comprising petaloid nanoflakes. This nanostructured graphite allows fast and reversible intercalation/deintercalation of anions, promising a superior cathode material for batteries. In a Pyr14TFSI ionic liquid, it exhibits a specific discharge capacity of 65 and 116 mAhg_1 at a rate of 1800 mAg_1 when charged to 5.0 and 5.25 V vs. Li/ Li+, respectively. The capacity remains fairly stable during cycling and decreases by only about 8% when the charge/ discharge rate is increased to 10000 mAg_1 during cycling between 2.25 and 5.0 V.

This project encourages student to build a computational model simulating the nanostructured graphite mechanics, using lammps which is a molecular dynamics based platform.
