Carbon/carbon core/shell nanofibers with length up to several micrometres have been prepared by co-pyrolysis of tetrahydrofuran and ferrocene in a stainless steel autoclave at 600 °C. The diameter of carbon core is ~10 nm, and the thickness of carbon shell is ~20 nm. It is found that the graphene layers of carbon core are perpendicular to the ones of carbon shell in stacking orientation. Comparative experiments confirm that the metallic iron catalysts, originating from the decomposition of ferrocene, are responsible for the formation of nanofibers. When the ferrocene is absence, only solid carbon spheres are observed. Moreover, hollow hexapod-like carbon materials can be obtained with water introduced into reaction system.

AbstractIn view of rich potassium resources and their working potential, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are deemed as next generation rechargeable batteries. Owing to carbon materials with the preponderance of durability and economic price, they are widely employed in PIBs anode materials. Currently, porosity design and heteroatom doping as efficacious improvement strategies have been applied to the structural design of carbon materials to improve their electrochemical performances. Herein, nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) are synthesized by a facile hard template method. The MCS demonstrate larger interlayer spacing in a short range, high specific surface area, abundant mesoporous structures and active sites, enhancing K-ion migration and diffusion. Furthermore, we screen out the pyrolysis temperature of 900 °C and the pore diameter of 7 nm as optimized conditions for MCS to improve performances. In detail, the optimized MCS-7-900 electrode achieves high rate capacity (107.9 mAh g−1 at 5000 mA g−1) and stably brings about 3600 cycles at 1000 mA g−1. According to electrochemical kinetic analysis, the capacitive-controlled effects play dominant roles in total storage mechanism. Additionally, the full-cell equipped MCS-7-900 as anode is successfully constructed to evaluate the practicality of MCS.
