Abstract
Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) can serve as cathode material for a viable primary lithium metal battery due to its richness in oxygen-containing functional groups. However, its application is hindered by non-conductivity of GO. Herein, a proposed electrode structure design strategy is carried to regulate the electron and ion conductivity of the graphene oxide aerogel (GO/CNT@NMP) electrode while retaining the original energy density. GO/CNT@NMP exhibits a discharge specific capacity of 703 mAh g−1 and an ultra-high energy density of 1655.76 Wh kg−1 at a low rate of 0.02 A g−1. Additionally, it achieves a maximum discharge rate of 1.4 A g−1, five times higher than the initial maximum discharge rate of GO. Characterization and electrochemical tests reveal that the excellent performance of GO/CNT@NMP can be attributed to its porous structure, high electrical conductivity, and large layer spacing. This study presents a potent strategy for the advancement of ultra-fast primary batteries, aiming to integrate ultra-high energy density and high-rate discharge capabilities.
