Abstract
Recycling of waste tires is an important technology due to the health and environmental problems caused by them. Herein, we developed a low-cost method to prepare phosphorus-doped mesoporous carbon (PMC) by a preferred phosphoric acid treatment and high temperature calcination process of waste tires. After doping with phosphorus, the PMC electrode exhibited improved reversible capacity (181.8 mA h/g @ 100 mA/g) and good rate performance. It still delivers a specific capacity of 128.5 mA h/g when cycled under 500 mA/g. The increased performance of PMC was owing to the joint effect of phosphorus doping and mesoporous structure, which could shorten the transport path of K+ and improve the electrochemical reactivity for potassium batteries.
