In this work, the feasibility of a monolayer Be2C as the anode material for lithium-ion battery (LiB) was investigated using the density functional theory. Our study reveals that the adsorption of Li atoms changes the electronic conductivity of a monolayer Be2C from semiconducting to metallic. This...
