要旨

Two-dimensional (2-D) materials, especially carbon allotropes, have larger storage capacity and faster diffusion rate due to their unique structures and are usually used in ion batteries. Recently, a new stable two-dimensional carbon allotrope, namely PAI-graphene, was reported by first-principles calculations. Due to its lightweight and multiple-ring structure, great stability and excellent properties, here, we theoretically reveal the excellent performance of PAI-graphene as an anode material for Li-/Na-ion batteries. Our results show that PAI-graphene has intrinsic metallicity before and after adsorption of Li/Na, which ensures that it has good conductivity when working as an electrode material. In addition, PAI-graphene exhibits quite low open circuit voltage (0.342–0.190 V for Li, 0.339–0.233 V for Na) and diffusion barrier (0.34 eV for Li, 0.17 eV for Na), which indicates its superiority as an anode material. Most noteworthily, the Na storage capacity of PAI-graphene is up to 1674 mA h g−1, which is much higher than that of most 2-D anode materials. Thus, we believe that PAI-graphene can be an outstanding anode material with outstanding performance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
