Abstract

Mesoporous hard carbon is obtained by pyrolyzing a mixture of sucrose and nanoscaled calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) particles. The microstructure of the carbon is characterized by N₂ adsorption/desorption, Hg porosimetry, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical performances of the carbon as an anode material for lithium ion batteries are evaluated by galvanostatic charge/discharge and cyclic voltammetry tests. It is shown that this mesoporous carbon possesses high capacity, good cycling performance and rate capability, indicating the promising application of nano-CaCO₃ particle as template in massive fabrication of mesoporous carbon anode materials for lithium ion batteries.
