This report presents a designed synthesis of a one-dimensional COF and its composites with one-dimensional carbon nanotubes for use as cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. The composites exhibit a unique dendritic core-shell structure, providing abundant and easily accessible redox-active sites, which contribute to improved diffusion rate of lithium ions and specific capacity. The study demonstrates the great potential of one-dimensional COFs in battery technologies.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new class of cathode materials for energy storage in recent years. However, they are limited to two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) framework structures. Herein, this work reports designed synthesis of a redox-active one-dimensional (1D) COF and its composites with 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via in situ growth. Used as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, the 1D COF@CNT composites with unique dendritic core-shell structure can provide abundant and easily accessible redox-active sites, which contribute to improve diffusion rate of lithium ions and the corresponding specific capacity. This synergistic structural design enables excellent electrochemical performance of the cathodes, giving rise to 95% utilization of redox-active sites, high rate capability (81% capacity retention at 10 C), and long cycling stability (86% retention after 600 cycles at 5 C). As the first example to explore the application of 1D COFs in the field of energy storage, this study demonstrates the great potential of this novel type of linear crystalline porous polymers in battery technologies.
