N/O/P ternary-doped coal-based hierarchical porous carbon networks for high lithium-ion storage performance
Journal of Alloys and Compounds(2023)
Abstract
Constructing porous structure and surface modification are effective ways to enhance the Li-ion storage performance of commercial graphite anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus ternary-doped coal-based hierarchical porous carbon networks (N/O/P-CCNs) were prepared through liquid oxidation combined with self-assembly method. The N/O/P-CCNs have a three-dimensional porous carbon network structure formed by cross-linking carbon nanosheets with an appropriate specific surface area (321 m2 g−1) and distribution of micro-, meso- and macropore, while the surfaces of carbon nanosheets are doped with nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus. Due to unique hierarchical porous structure and the synergistic effect of ternary doping, the N/O/P-CCNs anode exhibits excellent Li-ion storage properties with initial reversible capacity of 1079 mAh g−1, which is much higher than that of coal-based graphite anode (382 mAh g−1). Besides, the N/O/P-CCNs anode also has superior rate capability (336 and 275 mAh g−1 at 1.0 and 2.0 A g−1) and cycle stability with a high capacity retention (near 100 % after 100 cycles). The excellent electrochemical performance is not only related to the hierarchical pore structure that can provide efficient channels for lithium-ion transport, but also to the ternary-doping of nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus that can provide more active sites for lithium-ion storage and enhance conductivity. This work provides a novel and effective design strategy for developing high-performance anode materials for LIBs.
