Description
Summary:High-crystallinity and low-defect graphene nanosheets with nano pores were prepared from natural flake graphite <i>via</i> high-pressure homogenization liquid phase exfoliation method.The morphology and structure of as-prepared samples were investigated with scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.The electrochemical performance was performed using coin cells assembled in an argon-filled glovebox.It was found that the wrinkled graphene sheets with nanoholes consisted of 5 layers,which had high crystallinity.As conductive additives for LiFePO<sub>4</sub> cathode,graphene constructed fast pathway for electron and ion transport in the bulk electrode,resulting in superior rate performance.Electrochemical tests showed that the electrode achieved a high reversible capacity of 90 mAh/g at 10 C rate;in addition,the discharge capacity achieved 90 mAh/g when charging and discharging at 5 C rate for 200 cycles,maintaining 100% capacity retention.The approach preparing graphene is facile,which can be suitable for industrial scale production of graphene materials.
