Element-Doped Graphene; From Black Art to Energy Storage Materials

石墨（和含碳）材料已经有了一系列的应用（最显著的是作为电池阳极），并且该领域在世界范围内是一个非常活跃和竞争激烈的领域。然而，我们的掺杂石墨烯方法是一种全新的方法，它开辟了许多应用和新的研究方向。该项目旨在优化有序结晶高度硼掺杂石墨烯结构的合成路线，从而实现对化学计量和形态的高度控制。使用优化技术，可以对同质掺杂和共掺杂石墨烯结构进行研究，目的是测试这些材料作为锂和钠电池的高能量密度电极。

Graphitic (and carbonacious) materials already have a range of applications (most notably as batteryanodes) and the area is a very active and competitive one world-wide. However, our approach todoped-graphene is an entirely new one which opens up a number of applications and new researchdirections.This project aims to optimise synthetic routes to ordered crystalline highly boron-doped graphenestructures, enabling a high level of control over stoichiometry and morphology. Using optimisedtechniques an investigation into homo-doped and co-doped graphene structures can be undertakenwith the goal of testing the materials as high-energy density electrodes for lithium and sodiumbatteries.
