Abstract
Intercalation of lithium into Ag-CNTs sample is reported here. We
have used a nano-porous silver foam as a frame for deposition of the
CNTs inside the pores by electrophoresis deposition (EPD)
technique. By using chronopotentiometry method, we have noticed
that the Li storage capacity of the prepared Ag-CNTs electrode was
improved noticeably in comparison with literature. In addition, a
very good functional stability for the prepared electrode has been
tested during subsequent cycles of charge / discharge (C&D)
procedures. By scanning the cycle's regulated current from 0.2 up to
1.0 mA , it was shown that in the range of 0.4–0.6 mA reversibility
of the C&D capacity became optimum and the voltage profiles were
converged, as well.
