Development of alternative cathode materials is of highly desirable for sustainable and cost-efficient lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in energy storage fields. In this study, for the first time, we report tunable nitrogen-doped graphene with active functional groups for cathode utilization of LIBs. When employed as cathode materials, the functionalized graphene frameworks with a nitrogen content of 9.26 at% retain a reversible capacity of 344 mAh g after 200 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g. More surprisingly, when conducted at a high current density of 1 A g, this cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 146 mAh g after 1000 cycles. Our current research demonstrates the effective significance of nitrogen doping on enhancing cathode performance of functionalized graphene for LIBs.
对于储能领域的可持续和低成本锂离子电池(LIBs)而言,开发替代阴极材料是非常理想的。在这项研究中,我们首次报告了具有活性官能团的可调氮掺杂石墨烯,可用于 LIBs 的阴极应用。当用作阴极材料时,氮含量为 9.26at%的功能化石墨烯框架在 50mA/g 的电流密度下循环 200 次后仍保持 344mAh/g 的可逆容量。更令人惊讶的是,当在 1A/g 的高电流密度下进行时,这种阴极在 1000 次循环后仍能提供 146mAh/g 的高可逆容量。我们目前的研究表明,氮掺杂对提高 LIBs 功能化石墨烯阴极性能具有重要意义。
