One-Step Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Derived from Biomass for Lithium-Ion Battery
Bamboo shoot is renewable biomass rich in carbon and nitrogen. To take advantage of its sources of carbon and nitrogen, hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon materials derived from bamboo shoot were acquired via a one-step method in this study. The obtained carbons were characterized by using XRD, Raman, N2 sorption, SEM, TEM, XPS, etc. The carbon calcinated at 700 °C with KHCO3 treatment (BSC) displays a large surface area (1475.5 m2 g−1) and typically porous structure from micro- to macropores, a self-nitrogen content, and many defects, which could offer transport channels and active sites for lithium ions while used as carbon anode. Based on the above features and the synergistic effects among them, BSC exhibits the typical electrochemical performance of a carbon-based anode material, with a specific capacity as high as 611.3 mA h g−1 (a Coulombic efficiency of 98.7%) after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g−1. Meanwhile, it also has a good rate performance and excellent cycling properties (436.1 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles at 0.1 A g−1) compared with NBSC (carbon directly carbonized at 700 °C). Thus, it is promising for further improvements made to porous carbon derived from biomass and used as anode in the application of energy storage, and could be a guideline for the preparation of high-value-added carbon materials derived from biomass.
