Abstract
The successful intercalation of lithium into catalytic carbon nanotubes under high pressure conditions is reported. The compounds obtained have Li contents as high as 1–2 Li/ lC and repeat distances along the c-axis 3.69–4. 11 Å, preserving the tubular structure of the nanotubes. XRD, Infrared spectroscopy and 7Li NMR investigations are performed to characterize the compounds obtained.Keywords
