Pore-size-tunable nitrogen-doped polymeric frameworks for high performance sodium ion storage and supercapacitors

摘要

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is considered as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Supercapacitors (SCs) are receiving great attention for their significantly higher power density than batteries and prolonged cycle life. Herein, SIBs and SCs based on N-doped amorphous multi-size pores dominated polymeric frameworks were fabricated and examined. The enlarged interlayer spacing and multi-size-pore dominated interconnected architecture with high specific surface area, high pore volume and high N content optimize the electrochemical performance of N-PPF-20. As an anode material, N-PPF-20 exhibited a sodium ion storage capacity of 432.2 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 0.05 A g(-1), while maintaining a reversible capacity of 61.1 mAh g(-1) at an ultrahigh current density of 20 A g(-1). Additionally, a specific capacity of 158.3 mAh g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) was obtained after 1000 cycles, indicating an excellent cycling stability. When tested as an electrode material for SCs, N-PPF-20 delivered a high specific capacitance of 438.7 F g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1), and a specific capacitance of 111.2 F g(-1) was achieved even at a high current density of 10 A g(-1). Meanwhile, a long-term cycling life test demonstrated a specific capacitance of 120 F g(-1) at an ultrahigh current density of 10 A g(-1) after 10,000 cycles.
