以石墨化中间相炭微球(MCMB)为前驱体,采用氧化、微膨胀法制备了微膨胀石墨电极材料(e-MC—MB);采用X射线衍射仪和扫描电镜表征样品的外貌、结构,并采用恒电流充放电测试和循环伏安法研究了微膨胀石墨电极在LiPR有机电解液体系中的电化学行为。结果表明,微膨胀石墨材料有良好的球形形状,晶体参数La10、Lc和平均堆积碳层数与MCMB相比显著减小;平均层间距d(002)大于石墨材料,在0.411~0.418nm范围;首次充电在4.5~4.8V间存在明显的“电化学活化”现象,储能行为不同于传统石墨材料;在2.5~4.8V电压区间,放电比电容量达143.7F/g;将微膨胀石墨正极材料与石墨负极材料匹配,预计能得到高能量密度的锂离子电容器。
A mild expanded graphite (e-MCMB) was prepared by oxidation and heat-treatment of MCMB. The morphology and structure of the samples were characterized by XRD and SEM analysis, respectively. The electro- chemical behavior of the samples in LiPF6 electrolyte was studied using galvanostatic charge/discharge test and slow scan rate cyclic voltammograms. The results show and indicate that e-MCMB presented well spherical shape, the values of crystallite parameters of e-MCMB such as La10, Lc and mean stack carbon layers (N) decreased significantly compared with that of MCMB. The mean interlayer distance (d(002) was 0. 411--0. 418nm, which was larger than graphite's. There was obvious phenomenon of "electricity activation" in the first charging potential of 4. 5--4.8V (vs Li). The energy storage behavior of mild expanded graphite was different with that of graphite, and the specific capacitance was 143.7F/g. The lithium ion capacitor with high energy density could be obtained by matching the expanded graphite anode material and graphite cathode material.
