Soft-templated Mesoporous Carbon-Carbon Nanotube Composites for High Performance Lithium-ion Batteries

Journal Article · · Advanced Materials
Mesoporous carbon with homogeneously dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are synthesized via a one-step brick and mortar soft-templating approach. Nanocomposites exhibit high rate capability and reversible lithium storage capacity of 900 mA h g-1 and good rate performance. Such homogeneous nanocomposites are ideal candidates for electric vehicle applications where high power and energy density are primary requirements.
