Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Results of computational study of few-layer graphene (FLG) nanostructures as storing cells for Li are presented. Results of modeling revealed some features of these systems, which can cause dimensional instabilities and shortening of the life time of Li-based power sources. Some peculiarities of lithium diffusion motion in structural defect zones and near the edges of few-layer graphene planes have been studied. Simulations and density functional theory calculations performed allow of predicting that dimensional stability and stiffness of FLG can be in significant measure improved by the structural bridge-like radiation defects.
