Abstract
A column (5) aromatic compound was synthesized and its energy storage behaviors are investigated. The obtained column (5) aromatics is mainly disordered but still contains ordered structures with lattice spacing of 0.287 nm. Such regular layered spacing and molecular-scale voids are very beneficial for the embedding and removal of lithium ions. As a result, the initial charging capacity of column (5) aromatics is only 184 mAh g−1 at current density of 400 mA g−1; as the cycle increased, the charge capacity increased rapidly to 1305 mAh g−1 after 600 cycles. Subsequently, the capacity continued to grow slowly and finally stabilized, when cycling increases to 800 cycles, the capacity is up to 1611 mAh g−1, which is close to its theoretical specific capacity. Meanwhile, a superior rate performance is also observed, at current densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 A/g, the capacities of column (5) aromatics are 2142, 1951, 1679, 1320, 929, and 484 mAh g−1, respectively. The SEM images show that as the cycle proceeds, the size of the column aromatics particles is significantly reduced and forms a porous and loose morphological structure, which increases the exposed active points, decreases the impedance of the electrode, and gradually increases the cycling capacity.
