ABSTRACT
Organic materials with redox-active oxygen functional groups are of great interest as electrode materials for alkali-ion storage due to their earth-abundant constituents, structural tunability, and enhanced energy storage properties. Herein, a hybrid carbon framework consisting of reduced graphene oxide and oxygen functionalized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is developed via the one-pot solvothermal reduction method, and a systematic study is undertaken to investigate its redox mechanism and electrochemical properties with Li-, Na-, and K-ions. Due to the incorporation of CQDs, the hybrid cathode delivers consistent improvements in charge storage performance for the alkali-ions and impressive reversible capacity (257 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 ), rate capability (111 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 ), and cycling stability (79% retention after 10 000 cycles) with Li-ion. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations uncover the CQD structure-electrochemical reactivity trends for different alkali-ion. The results provide important insights into adopting CQD species for optimal alkali-ion storage.
