Zusammenfassung:Rod-shaped ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with different lengths, prepared by replication method using the corresponding size-tunable SBA-15 silicas with the same rodlike morphology as templates, are explored as anode material for Li-ion battery. All of the as-synthesized OMCs exhibit much higher Li storage capacity and better cyclability along with comparable rate capability as compared with commercial graphite. Particularly, the OMC-3 with the shortest length demonstrates the highest reversible discharge capacity of 1012 mAh g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) and better cyclability with 86.6% retention of initial capacity after 100 cycles. Although the Coulombic efficiencies of all the OMCs are relatively low at the beginning, they improve promptly and after 10 cycles reach the level comparable to commercial graphite. Based on their specific capacity, cycle efficiency, and rate capability, the OMC-3 outperforms considerably its carbon peers, OMC-1 and OMC-2 with longer length. This behavior is mainly attributed to higher specific surface area, which provides more active sites for Li adsorption and storage along with the larger mesopore volume and shorter mesopore channels, which facilitate fast Li ion diffusion and electrolyte transport. The enhancement in reversible Li storage performance with decrease in the channel length is also supported by low solid electrolyte interphase resistance, contact resistance, and Warburg impedance in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
