Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as novel types of emerging materials have aroused tremendous attention in recent years. Herein, we report for the first time a new application of 3D CQD-based composite aerogels as excellent electrode materials for alkaline aqueous batteries. The scalable graphitic CQDs are prepared with high yields (>40%) and further utilized to fabricate the novel nitrogen-doped CQDs/reduced graphene oxide/porous Fe2O3(N-CQDs/rGO/Fe2O3) composite aerogels with different contents of Fe2O3. Benefiting from the unique 3D network composite aerogel structure with a high surface area and hierarchical porous structure as well as the synergistic effect of high-capacity Fe2O3and highly conductive and stable N-CQDs/rGO, the composite aerogels achieve enhanced electrochemical properties with ultrahigh specific capacity, admirable rate property, and superior cycling performance. Furthermore, theN-CQDs/rGO/Fe2O3-1 electrode (Fe2O3, 34.9 wt %) exhibits the best rate capability (72.1, 58.9, and 46.2% capacity retention at 5, 50, and 100 A g–1, respectively) and cycle performance (80.4% capacity retention at 3 A g–1over 5000 cycles), while the N-CQDs/rGO/Fe2O3-3 electrode (Fe2O3, 62.3 wt %) displays the highest specific capacity (274.1 mA h g–1at 1 A g–1). The current research provides a valuable guidance for developing high-performance 3D CQD-based composite aerogels for application in energy storage systems.
