Abstract:
Defect engineering is one of the effective ways to improve the electrochemical property of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Herein, an organic functional molecule of pphenylenediamine is embedded into two-dimensional (2D) layered TiO2 as the electrode for LIB. Then, the 2D carbon/TiO2 composites with the tuning defects are prepared by precise control of the polymerization and carbothermal atmospheres. Low valence titanium in metal oxide and nitrogendoped carbon nanosheets can be obtained in the carbon/TiO2 composite under a carbonization treatment atmosphere of N2 /H2 gas, which can not only increase the electronic conductivity of the material but also provide sufficient electrochemical active sites, thus producing an excellent rate capability and long-term cycle stability. The prepared composite can provide a high capacity of 396.0 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1 with a high capacitive capacity ratio. Moreover, a high specific capacity of 80.0 mAh g−1 with retention rate of 85% remains after 10,000 cycles at 3.0 A g−1 as well as the Coulomb efficiency close to 100%. The good rate-capability and cycle-sustainability of the layered materials are ascribed to the increase of conductivity, the lithium-ion transport channel, and interfacial capacitance due to the multi-defect sites in the layered composite. © 2022 by the authors.
