Abstract:
Extremely high nitrogen doped carbon was designed by facile pyrolysis of bio-based poly(2,5-benzimidazole) as a single source of nitrogen and carbon. For the first time ever, a carbon-based anode with ∼17 wt% of nitrogen doping with extremely fast charging (XFC) capability at 18.6 A g-1 and ultralong cyclability (3000 cycles) with 90% capacity retention was investigated. Full cell studies also indicated the commercial competence of the novel material.
