Hex-C558: A new porous metallic carbon allotrope for lithium-ion battery anode
Abstract
Due to the limited specific capacity of graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), it is imperative to find alternatives with better performance. Here in this work, we propose, for the first time, a three dimensional (3D) porous metallic 5-5-8 carbon monolith with hexagonal lattice as a potential candidate. With 5-5-8 carbon nanoribbon as the building block, this material, named Hex-C558, goes beyond graphene-nanoribbon-based 3D porous carbon structures. Using first-principles calculations, we show that Hex-C558 is not only dynamically and thermally stable, but also is energetically more favorable than many other theoretically predicted carbon allotropes. More importantly, Hex-C558 is metallic with ordered ionic conducting channels and possesses a low mass density of 1.05 gcm-3, exhibiting great potential for ion-battery applications. As an anode for LIBs, Hex-C558 possesses a large specific capacity of 591 mAhg-1, low diffusion energy barrier of 0.27 eV (at low Li concentration) and 0.52 eV (at high Li concentration), a low open-circuit voltage of 0.51 V, and a small volume change of 2.4%. This work provides a new route for the design and synthesis of novel carbon materials for battery applications by using pentagon-based building units.
