Abstract

Abstract : Amorphous Zn–N–C based microstars, which are synthesized using an ionic liquid-assisted method, exhibit excellent performance for lithium storage due to their unique interfacial and structural features. Abstract : Amorphous Zn-rich nitrogen-doped carbon-based microstars are synthesized using an ionic liquid-assisted method and annealing process. The microstars exhibit a high reversible capacity of 756 mA h g −1 and a capacity retention of 98% after 120 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 due to their large surface area, hierarchical nanopores, and uniform distribution of zinc and nitrogen.
