Abstract
Thin films single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are used as the positive electrode in lithium half-cells with LiPF6 and LiBF4 in liquid organic electrolytes. Upon driving the potential to a high 4.5V, oxidation peaks appear in the cyclic voltammograms, suggesting the anions may intercalate into the SWNT triangular structure. By analyzing the shape of voltammogram changes upon cycling, we found that the anion intercalation into SWNT is partly reversible.
