Hollow porous carbon is considered as an ideal material for the negative electrode due to its low density
large pore volume
high specific surface area and good electrical conductivity. A facile approach for preparing hollow whisker porous carbon material (Cw-GO) for the negative electrode of Lithium-ion battery is proposed by using polydopamine and graphene oxide as carbon and nitrogen source
and CaCO3 whisker as a template agent. The activator CO2
is generated from whisker template and make a great contribution to high specific surface area (SSA) during carbonizing process. The morphology and structure of sample are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and volumetric adsorption analyzer. The electrochemical characteristics of sample is investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV)
impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic charge-discharge (GCD). Cw-GO shows the first discharge capacity of 1185.9 mA·h·g-1 under the current density of 500 mA·g-1
and decreased to 921.8 mA·h·g-1 through 200 cycles
