New structural applications of graphene materials in flexible lithium-ion batteries

Recently, Professor Hui Ying Yang from the University of Science and Technology of Singapore and Professor Sun Kening from Harbin Institute of Technology jointly published an article on Nature Communications. The article describes a use of germanium quantum dots/nitrogen-doped graphene nano-core-shell The structure-encapsulated three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene interconnected porous foam is used in lithium-ion battery electrodes.

This three-dimensional structure material combines the advantages of the stable structure of the graphene carbon material and the advantages of the metal germanium capacity, and overcomes the huge volume expansion of the previous electrode materials in the battery charging and discharging process. The problem of capacity attenuation comes. Among them, through the use of germanium quantum dots composite nitrogen-doped graphene carbon nanotubes, the prepared flexible lithium ion battery has a specific capacity of 1220mAh·g-1, and the rate performance still has 800mAh·g-1 at a large rate of 40C. The capacity retention rate reaches 97% after 1000 cycles.

Summary

This work uses a negative electrode composed of germanium quantum dot matrix and graphene material The material is used in lithium-ion batteries, and a porous interconnected three-dimensional graphene foam material is obtained through a reasonable three-dimensional structure design. After that, it is heat-treated in a nitrogen atmosphere to introduce nitrogen-doped sites that combine with lithium ions. This structure provides a suitable space for the insertion of lithium ions, so that the half-cell capacity reaches 1220mAh·g-1, and the capacity retention rate is still 96% after 1000 cycles. At the same time, the battery is at a high rate (40C). The capacity still has 800mAh·g-1.
