Two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework as efficient cathode for binder-free lithium-ion battery by Yao, Chang-Jiang, Wu, Zhenzhen, Xie, Jian, Yu, Fei, Guo, Wei, Xu, Zhichuan Jason, Li, Dong-Sheng, Zhang, Shanqing, Zhang, Qichun

“…A binder-free cathode was obtained by mixing 70 wt % PPTODB and 30 wt % carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive additive. Promoted by the fast kinetics of electrons/ions, high electrochemical activity, and effective π-π interaction between PPTODB and CNTs, LIBs with the as-prepared cathode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance: a high specific capacity of 198 mAh g-1 , a superb rate ability (the capacity at 1000 mA g-1 can reach 76 % of the corresponding value at 100 mA g-1 ), and a stable coulombic efficiency (≈99.6 % at the 150th cycle). …”
