The behavior of the COFs in layers was then investigated. It emerged that the minor structural variations produced noticeably different results.
Study co-lead author Zhengqian Pang, a UMD post-doctoral researcher and a member of Li’s research group, added, “We found from our simulations that the strong interlayer interactions in the second type of COF result from the significantly enhanced hydrogen bonding among its special functional groups.”
He further pointed out, “Another potential application is for upgrading batteries: Replacing the graphite anode with a silicon one would greatly increase the storage capacity of current lithium-ion battery technologies.”
