ABSTRACT

Graphene has been extensively investigated as a host material for Li metal anodes owing to its light weight, high electrical conductivity, high surface area, and exceptional mechanical rigidity. Many studies have focused on assembling two-dimensional (2D) graphene sheets into three-dimensional (3D) forms, such as lamination, spheres, and carbon nanotubes; however, little attention has been paid to the technology of modifying 2D graphene sheets. Herein, nanoperforated graphene (NPG) was fabricated through a relatively straightforward process employing metal oxide catalysts based on aqueous solutions. Nanoperforations exhibited a size of approximately 5 nm and were introduced on the graphene sheet and lithiophilic carbonyl groups (C = O) at the edges, facilitating the rapid diffusion of Li+ and lowering the Li nucleation overpotential. In comparison to the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) host, the NPG host exhibited a lower lithium nucleation overpotential and a stable overpotential of ~ 30 mV for over 150 cycles as a stable host structure as a Li metal anode for Li metal batteries.
