Abstract
Lithium interaction with catalytic carbon nanotubes under high-pressur e conditions was studied. A large amount of Li (2Li/C) reacted with th e carbon nanotubes forming an intercalation compound (I-c similar to 4 .1 Angstrom) which follows from X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy data. We cannot exclude also the possibility of insertion of a part of Li into the channel of the nanotubes.
