Description
Résumé:In this work, an effective strategy for the large-scale fabrication of highly porous CuO/Cu2O/Cu/carbon (P-Cu-C) has been established. Cu-cross-linked aerogels were first continuously prepared using a continuous flow mode to form uniform beads, which were transformed into P-Cu-C with a subsequent pyrolysis process. Various pyrolysis temperatures were used to form a series of P-Cu-C including P-Cu-C-250, P-Cu-C-200, P-Cu-C-350, and P-Cu-C-450 to investigate suitable pyrolysis conversion processes. The obtained P-Cu-C series were utilized as anodes of lithium-ion batteries, in which P-Cu-C-250 exhibited a higher reversible gravimetric capacity, excellent rate capability, and superior cycle stability. The enhanced behavior of P-Cu-C-250 was benefitted from the synergistic interaction between uniformly dispersed CuO, Cu2O, Cu nanoparticles, and highly graphitized carbon with a large surface area and highly porous structure. More importantly, the preparation of P-Cu-C-250 could be scaled up by taking advantage of the continuous flow synthesis mode, which may provide pilot- or industrial-scale applications. The large-scale fabrication proposed here may give a universal method to fabricate highly porous metal oxide-carbon anode materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications. Porous CuO/Cu2O/Cu/carbon derived from Cu-crosslinked aerogels was used as Li-ion battery anode materials, exhibiting a high reversible areal capacity, large gravimetric capacity, superior cycling performance, and excellent rate capacity. A continuous preparation method is established to ensure the product scaled up
