A 3D Organically Synthesized Porous Carbon Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

We report the first organically synthesized sp-sp³ hybridized porous carbon, OSPC-1. This new carbon shows electron conductivity, high porosity, the highest uptake of lithium ions of any carbon material to-date, and the ability to inhibit dangerous lithium dendrite formation. The new carbon exhibits exceptional potential as anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high capacity, excellent rate capability, long cycle life, and potential for improved safety performance.
