Effects of Preparation Temperatures on Lithium Insertion Properties of Carbon Nanotubes WU Guotao, CHEN Maohui, ZHU Guangming, YOU Jinkua, LIN Zugeng (Dept. of Chemistry & State Key Lab for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surface, Xiamen Univ., Xiamen 361005) Abstract In the present work, carbon nanotubes were produced by catalytic decomposition of methane at low temperature range (500～700 °C) on Ni-catalysts. Structures and lithium insertion properties of these carbon nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements, respectively. The results showed that preparation temperatures of carbon nanotubes have remarkable effects on both specific capacity and cycle life. The mechanism of lithium insertion into carbon nanotubes is similar to that of carbon produced by the pyrolysis of hydrocarbon below 1000°C.
