Blue phosphorene/graphdiyne heterostructure is designed as a potential anode material for Li-ion batteries with excellent mechanical stability, good electrical conductivity, high capacity, and fast Li-ion mobility. The heterostructure exhibits good thermodynamics stability and enhanced elastic stiffness, effectively avoiding electrode cracking and pulverization. The synergistic effect between Blue phosphorene and graphdiyne significantly enhances the binding strength of Li and improves the metallic conductivity for fast electron transport.
Blue phosphorene has triggered enormous research effort as an anode for Li-ion batteries due to its large surface and high capacity. However, its application is hindered by poor electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and mobility. Graphdiyne exhibits excellent mechanical properties and high storage capacity but low Li-ion mobility. Herein, we designed blue phosphorene/graphdiyne (BlueP/GDY) heterostructure as a potential anode material for LIB based on denstity functional theory. We demonstrated that BlueP/GDY heterostructure exhibits good thermodynamics stability and enhanced elastic stiffness (Young's modulus is 215.9 N/m), which can effectively avoid electrode cracking and pulverization. Synergistic effect between BlueP and GDY significantly enhanced binding strength of Li for composite compared with isolated BlueP and GDY. The transition of semiconducting to metallic induced by Li intercalation suggested better metallic conductivity for fast electron transport. Furthermore, BlueP/GDY heterostructure delivers high theoretical specific capacity (761.76 mA center dot h center dot g(-1)) and rather small Li-ion diffusion energy barriers (0.11 eV), which is estimated to be 105 times faster than that on isolated BlueP and GDY at room temperature, indicating excellent rate performance for BlueP/GDY anode. Therefore, it is expected that BlueP/GDY heterostructure has great potential in LIBs with excellent mechanical stability, good electrical conductivity, high capacity and fast Li-ion mobility.
