Abstract
In this paper, the composite preparation method of carbon nanotubes and porous carbon materials is investigated as a way to obtain composites with good structure and properties. The common plant waste poplar leaves were used as carbon source to prepare electrochemical energy storage devices. Poplar leaf-derived carbon (YSC) has an interconnected framework structure that facilitates ion diffusion and provides space for sulfur redox expansion [1,2]. We doped in situ-grown carbon nanotubes into YSC substrates using melamine as a nitrogen source, and constructed hierarchical porous structures to inhibit the dissolution of polysulfides by combining the carbon nanotube structure with the framework of YSC interconnections in order to further improve their performance. The cycling stability, capacity retention, and electrochemical activity energy of the electrode material were also analyzed at different carbonization temperatures, and the material showed better electrochemical performance. At a current density of 0.5 A/g, a discharge specific capacity of 583.8 mAh/g averaged over 300 turns was realized.
