Abstract
After obtaining Ti C MXene structures terminated with O, S, Se, F, Cl, and Br, we calculate the energy barrier for Li-ion diffusion on the surface of each MXene, being the first to report on the Li-ion diffusivity in Cl and Br terminated Ti reported in the literature so far. In addition, a study on the adsorption energies indicates that the top binding position is the most stable adsorption position for the Li-ion. Furthermore, it is shown that the adsorption energy depends on the electronegativity of the termination atoms, as well as the distance between the terminations, the Li, and the surface Ti-atoms. Finally, we show that the bond valence sum method provides an indication of the transition state of the Li-ion and can serve as a comparison tool for the diffusion barriers of different structures.
