Abstract
CO2-converted carbon nanotube (CNT) has been synthesized from industrial carbon dioxide emissions using a molten salt electrochemical process for an eco-friendly sustainable anode of sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The synthesized CNT have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 nm, and they combine with hard carbon (HC) to serve as SIB anode material. The synthesized CNT has the following roles: increasing the electrical conductivity of anode material, improving charge-discharge cycle stability, and enhancing sodium ion storage. We integrate these CNT into hard carbon by varying CNT contents, denoted as HC_xCNT(M), where x represents the weight of the CNT. So, the HC_5CNT(M) anode works better in half-cell SIBs, being able to handle different charging rates and reaching a maximum specific capacity of 256.7 mAh g−1 at a 0.2C-rate. This material also displayed remarkable stability, maintaining a specific capacity of 99.48 mAh g−1 at 1C-rate and the capacitive retention remained at 99.1 % after 800 cycles. The CO2-converted CNT can improve electrical conductivity, specific capacity, and cycle stability, according to electrochemical analysis results. This innovative approach not only contributes to sustainable energy storage but also provides a valuable solution for reducing carbon emissions and repurposing industrial waste.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
