This investigation holds the search for optimum sites for Lithium on Silicene Monolayer, by studying the adsorption energy on putting the Lithium atom on different possible sites. The center of the hexagonal structure in silicene was found to be the most favourable site. Using transition state search (TSS) the optimized stable state is confirmed. A low Diffusion Energy Barrier (DEB) of 0.348 eV indicates that the adsorption of Li over silicene can occur easily. Multiple adsorptions are considered, up to 4 Li atoms upon silicene substrate. The metallic property of pristine silicene is maintained throughout Li atom adsorption. Large adsorption energy in each of the adsorption suggests that silicene may be promising for Li-based battery material.
