In this work, the results of a study of the lithium insertion process in nanoporous carbons obtained from carbides (SiC, TiC, Mo2C) by chlorination were presented. Lithium insertion was produced in the temperature range 30-200C via vacuum deposition and diffusion. The major analytical tools for study included nuclear reaction method and X-ray diffraction. Diffusion coefficients of lithium at this temperature interval were estimated. A possible mechanism of lithium diffusion was discussed.
