Lithium storage in disordered graphitic materials: a semi-quantitative study of the relationship between structure disordering and capacity

Abstract

The application of the graphitic anode is restricted by its low theoretical specific capacity of 372 mA h gāˆ’1. Higher capacity can be achieved in the graphitic anode by modifying its structure, but the detailed storage mechanism is still not clear. In this work, the mechanism of the lithium storage in a disordered graphitic structure has been systematically studied. It is found that the enhanced capacity of the distorted graphitic structure does not come from lithium-intercalation, but through a capacitive process, which depends on the disordering degree and the porous structure.
