摘要

A sulfur-substituted disordered carbon is explored as anode material for lithium-ion battery. Its physical and electrochemical properties are characterized by a variety of techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, element analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, and typical electrochemical tests. Electrochemical tests show the activated carbon displays a first cycle discharge capacity of 1,216 mAh.g(-1). It also has a remarkable cycling stability with an average capacity fade of 0.92% per cycle from 11th to 100th cycle in the range of 0.01-3.00 V versus metallic lithium at a current density of 100 mA.g(-1). After 100 cycles, the electrode still maintained a capacity of 420 mAh.g(-1).
