Heteroatom-doped carbon nanomaterials with well-defined porous are used as anode materials for SIBs due to their exceptional structural characteristics. In this work, porous N-doped carbon networks composed with ultrathin carbon nanosheets were synthesized via the direct pyrolysis of Vitamin B5. The content of nitrogen, specific surface area, porous structure of the N-doped carbon nanosheet networks were adjusted by changing reaction temperatures. The formation mechasim of the ultrathin N-doped carbon nanosheet networks was also proposed. The generation of calcium carbonate/calcium oxide used as a self-template renders the formation of the porous structure via thermal treatment. The optimized samples possess a superior lithium and sodium storage: 1534 mAh g (1) at 100 mA g (1) vs. Li/Li+ and 335 mAh g (1) at 100 mA g (1) vs. Na/Na+,withnearly 100% cycling Coulombic efficiency, remarkable cycling retention and high rate capacity. Additionally, good electrocatalytic activity for ORR via a 4e (1) pathway determines that the resulting primary Zn-air battery showed high discharge power energy density (80 mW cm (2)), high reversibility and stability over continuous cycles.
