Bi2O3/Bi nanocomposites confined by N-doped honeycomb-like porous carbon for high-rate and long-life lithium storagewww.wyactivatedcarbon.com The volume changes of Bi2O3 and Bi, which have a high theoretical gravimetric ca-pacity and high volumetric capacity, during alloying is the main challenge in the fabri-cation of high-performance Bi-based electrodes. In the present study, a simple chemical blowing method is adopted to embed Bi2O3 and Bi nanoparticles generated by thermal decomposition and reduction in an N-doped honeycomb-like porous carbon matrix (Bi2O3/Bi@NHPC). In charge/discharge processes, the honeycomb-like porous carbon matrix effectively prevents the Bi2O3 and Bi nanoparticles from pulverization triggered by volume changes and provides abundant channels for fast electron and Li-ion diffusion. When utilized for lithium storage, the electrode exhibits a high reversible specific capacity of 408 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1. Remarkably, it presents a superior rate capability of 258 mAh g −1 at 10 A g−1 and a decent cycle retention of 78 % at 5 A g−1 after 2000 cycles. The qualitative analysis results reveal that the excellent rate performance and rapid reaction kinetics of the as-prepared electrode are mainly derived from the high capacitive contribution induced by the honeycomb-like porous carbon matrix. honeycomb activated carbonThe reported results demonstrate that Bi2O3/Bi@NHPC, which has a convenient preparation method, is a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
