By simply grafting sulfonate groups, sulfonated PDA can exhibit superior electrochemical performances. The optimized PDA shows high storage capacities for both LIBs and KIBs at a high current density, with a nearly 100% coulombic efficiency.
Polydopamine (PDA) is a bioderived organic electrode material which exhibits a low capacity of similar to 100 mAh.g(-1) due to the large PDA aggregates formed at the electrode during self-polymerization of DA. In this work, it found that a simple grafting of sulfonate groups via Michael addition can endow sulfonated PDA with superior electrochemical performances. Benefiting from the homogeneity of the coated active material and the improved ionic conductivity, the optimized PDA delivered high storage capacities of 206 mAh.g(-1) for LIBs and 82 mAh.g(-1) for KIBs at a high current density of (1000 mA.g(-1)) with a coulombic efficiency of nearly 100 %.
