“…Figure e displays the Mo 2 C-MoC/AC-N anode’s rate performance compared to the previously reported carbon anodes in PIBs. The Mo 2 C-MoC/AC-N anode exhibits a remarkable performance at high rates, outperforming graphite, reduced graphene oxide, activated graphite, phosphorus/oxygen dual-doped graphene, nitrogen/oxygen dual-doped hard carbon, N- and O-rich carbon nanofiber, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes, black P/C composite, few-layer N-doped graphene, N/S codoped carbon microboxes, nitrogen-doped bamboo-like carbon nanotubes, and reconstructed lignin-derived carbon nanosheets …”
