A facile approach for graphdiyne preparation under atmosphere for an advanced battery anode

An explosion approach was developed for efficiently preparing graphdiynes (GDYs) at 120 degrees C in air without any metal catalyst. The GDYs show great superiority in terms of thermal stability, conductivity (20 S m(-1)) and surface area (up to 1150 m(2) g(-1)), and can be applied as promising anodes for storing lithium/sodium ions.
