Facile synthesis of Li2C8H4O4-graphene composites as high-rate and sustainable anode materials for lithium ion batteries

摘要

Lithium terephthalate (Li2C8H4O4, PTAL), a carboxylate-based organic electrode material, displays high reversible capacity of up to 248 mA h g(-1) and long cycle life, which is promoted by graphene as a sustainable anode material for lithium ion batteries.
