Incorporating Pyrrolic and Pyridinic Nitrogen into a Porous Carbon made from C sub(60) Molecules to Obtain Superior Energy Storage

Nitrogen-doped porous carbon is obtained by KOH activation of C sub(60) in an ammonia atmosphere. As an anode for Li-ion batteries, it shows a reversible capacity of up to approximately 1900 mA h g super(-1) at 100 mA g super(-1). Simulations suggest that the superior Li-ion storage may be related t...

Description
Summary:Nitrogen-doped porous carbon is obtained by KOH activation of C sub(60) in an ammonia atmosphere. As an anode for Li-ion batteries, it shows a reversible capacity of up to approximately 1900 mA h g super(-1) at 100 mA g super(-1). Simulations suggest that the superior Li-ion storage may be related to the curvature of the graphenes and the presence of pyrrolic/pyridinic group dopants.
