Abstract
TiP2O7 is a hopeful anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its three-dimensional (3D) open skeletons, excellent ion transfer kinetics, and good structural stability. However, the inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity degrades seriously the electrochemical performance of LIBs. Herein, a strategy of carbonized polyacrylonitrile-coated TiP2O7 (TPO/cPAN) with 3D porous structures was proposed to enhance Li+-storage capability. The TPO/cPAN modified with 30 wt% polyacrylonitrile and calcined at 800 ℃ delivers superior long-term cycling stability at 0.5 A g−1 and excellent rate capacities of 558.7, 523.8, 477.5, 409.8, and 303.4 mAh g−1 at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 A g−1, respectively. Structural characterizations and electrochemical analysis reveal that the pyrolytic N-doped carbon layer markedly ameliorates the electron transferability and protects the electrode from organic electrolyte erosion. Meanwhile, the design of 3D porous structures and the generation of rich oxygen defects facilitate Li+ transport and pseudocapacitance energy storage. The work provides a novel pathway for optimizing the electron/ion migration of polyanionic electrode materials.
