A New Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene: Improved Performance through a Binary Network Design.
Chemistry, An Asian Journal 2018 May 5
Carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene and carbon nanotubes, are considered to be favorable alternatives to graphite-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries, owing to their high specific surface area, electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical flexibility. However, the limited number of storage sites for lithium ions within the sp2 -carbon hexahedrons leads to the low storage capacity. Thus, rational structure design is essential for the preparation of high-performance carbon-based anode materials. Herein, we employed flexible single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with ultrahigh electrical conductivity as a wrapper for 3D graphene foam (GF) by using a facile dip-coating process to form a binary network structure. This structure, which offered high electrical conductivity, enlarged the electrode/electrolyte contact area, shortened the electron-/ion-transport pathways, and allowed for efficient utilization of the active material, which led to improved electrochemical performance. When used as an anode in lithium-ion batteries, the SWCNT-GF electrode delivered a specific capacity of 953 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 and a high reversible capacity of 606 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles, with a capacity retention of 90 % over 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 and 189 mA h g-1 after 2200 cycles at 5 A g-1 .
