Highly durable Li-ion battery anode from Fe3O4 nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped porous carbon with improved rate capabilities
Source abstract
Abstract
For next generation, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) developing high capacity anode materials are crucial with increasing demand of large-scale application. Conversion-type anode materials are promising if stable cycling behavior could be achieved. In this work, a nitrogen-doped porous carbon-Fe3O4 (NPC-Fe3O4) nanocomposite is synthesized via a simple and scalable approach. Composite is prepared by pyrolysis of polymer silica hybrid PolyHIPE (high internal phase emulsion) into NPC, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are anchored on its surface via hydrothermal synthesis. As-prepared NPC-Fe3O4 nanocomposite delivers high reversible capacity of around 1001 mAhg−1 at 0.1 Ag−1 current density and rate capabilities and displays excellent cycling stability as high as 95% capacity retention even after 400 cycles. Superior electrochemical performance of NPC-Fe3O4 is attributed to the hierarchical porous structure and nitrogen doping of carbon which shorten the diffusion path of Li+ and provide ample space to prevent aggregation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
