A 3D porous honeycomb carbon as Na-ion battery anode material with high capacity, excellent rate performance, and robust stability
Abstract
Motivated by the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) honeycomb carbon structures and the subsequent theoretical prediction of an energetically more favorable hexagonal carbon phase composed of 28 carbon atoms in the unit cell (hC28) with ordered pores, excellent mechanical properties, and metallic feature, we explore its potential for a Na-ion battery (NIB) anode material. Using density functional theory based calculations, we find that hC28 is a promising candidate whose specific capacity of 717 mAh/g is almost three times larger than that of hard carbon (~250 mAh/g). In addition, migration barrier of Na ions along the honeycomb channel is only 0.08 eV and the volume change during the charging/discharging process is merely 2.30%, which are much less than those of other carbon-based NIB anode materials. The average voltage is also low (0.36 eV) which can provide high operating voltage when connected to the cathode. Finally, these encouraging results would pave the way towards the development of hC28 as NIB anode with high capacity, excellent rate performance, low open-circuit voltage, and long-term cycle life.
