High-Quality Epitaxial N Doped Graphene on SiC with Tunable Interfacial Interactions via Electron/Ion Bridges for Stable Lithium-Ion Storage

Highlights The intimate NG@SiC heterostructure has been constructed via a direct thermal decomposition method. The NG@SiC heterostructure anode delivers enhanced capacity and cycling stability both in the half-cell and in the full cell. DFT analysis reveals that this NG@SiC anode possesses lower lithium-ion adsorption energy and higher charge and discharge rates.
