Abstract
An
investigation into the interaction s between Li and graphene patch (C48H18) was performed using first principles
calculations including B3LYP/6 31G(d) and ROHF/6 31G(d) levels of theory. These calculations determined two adsor ption
configurations, named bound and un bound configuration, which correspond to different separation distance s between Li and
graphene patch. The results show that when Li is adsorbed, the site on top of the hexagon (H is the most stable
position. The 2s valence electrons of Li are partially transferred to graphene patch and t he binding energy is 1.43eV at the H
position for the bound configuration using the B3LYP me method. Th is study indicate s that it is more suitable on this scale to use
the B3L YP method to deal with the interactions between adsorbed Li atom and graphene patch.
