We report a first-principles investigation of Li adsorption and diffusion in single-walled Si nanotubes (SWSiNTs) of interest to Li-ion battery anodes. We calculate Li insertion characteristics in SWSiNTs and compare them with the respective ones in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and other silicon nanostru...
