Li-Ion Intercalation, Rectification, and Solid Electrolyte Interphase in Molecular Tunnel Junctions

This paper describes Li-ion intercalation into a pyrenyl-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold, inspired by the graphite anode in a Li-ion battery, and its effect on tunneling performance in a molecular junction incorporating the SAM. As the concentration of the Li-ion precursor ([LiPF
