Description
Summary:Abstract This study examined the characteristics of small molecular structure nano-graphene in a dynamic hierarchical self-assembly and found that graphene is rearranged under its own pressure during dynamic aggregation and water ripples are formed by the d-spacing. The composition and structure were studied using a range of material characterization techniques. No covalent bonds were observed between molecules, and the self-assembled driving force was the only intermolecular interaction: Van der Waals’ force in the intra-layer and π–π interactions between layers. The arranged-rearranged structures provided a range of lithium ion shuttle channels, including the space between layers and diffusing through the nanosheets, which decrease the diffusion distance of lithium ions remarkably and reduce the irreversible capacity of the battery.
