The
self-supporting graphdiyne/exfoliated graphene (GDY/EG) composites
materials were prepared by the solvothermal method and applied as
lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new type of carbon
allotrope with a natural macroporous structure, but its conductivity
is poor. A small amount of highly conductive graphene can improve
surface conductivity and facilitate electron transport. The layered
GDY/graphene heterogeneous interface can reduce the electron aggregation
polarization, enhance the ability to obtain electrons from the electrolyte,
and form a more uniform solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) film. The
structural performance and electrochemical performance have been systematically
studied. The results showed that the GDY/EG composite electrode has
a reversible capacity of 1253 mA h g–1 after 600
cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g–1. When the
current density is 5 A g–1, the GDY/EG composite
electrode can still maintain a reversible capacity of 324 mA h g–1 after 2000 cycles, and the electrode can still maintain
a good morphology after recycling. GDY/EG has a high reversible capacity,
excellent rate capability, and cycle stability. A small amount of
EG and inner foam copper form a double-layer conductivity, which changes
the storage method of lithium ions and facilitates the rapid diffusion
of lithium ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
