Low Energy of Activation Lithium-Ion Conducting Channel

Abstract

The energies of activation for ionic conduction within the pressed pellet of single crystals (0.038 eV) and the thin film of Li2Pc dried at 160 deg C (0.063 eV) would suggest a very similar conduction mechanism. The lithium ion conduction pathway might be parallel to the a-axis between the phthalocyanine rings since there is a negative electrostatic potential field between the parallel phthalocyanine rings and in effect provides a constant sphere of solvation for the lithium ion throughout the crystal lattice.
