Abstract

Abstract Graphite is a key cathode material for aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs), but appears poor structural stability and cyclability due to the slow kinetics of intercalation and usage of conductive additives. So far, reasonable design and construction of high-conductive, flexible, binder-free graphitic film cathodes with fast kinetics of anion intercalation mechanism still remains challenging for high-power and high-energy AIBs. Herein, we report the reasonable design for facile construction of high-conductive and mechanically flexible film cathode of high-quality few-layer graphene (FLG) nanosheets for high capacity and fast AIBs, thanks to the strong synergy of ionic surface adsorption/desorption of graphene and ionic intercalation/deintercalation of graphite. The FLG nanosheets prepared by electrochemical cathodic exfoliation from graphite, exhibit predominantly 3–5 layers, extremely low ID/IG ratio of
