Cs₄PbBr₆ Combined with Graphite as Anode for High-Performance Lithium Batteries

Abstract

Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots are glass-based materials. The perovskite structural material of Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots has shown an unexpected electronic performance. However, the glass-based Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots’ capacity becomes weaker when running in charge/discharge. Here, graphite was introduced to Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots using the grinding method to enhance the cycling stability of Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots. The 10%, 25%, 35%, 40%, 75% content Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots were added to graphite (CQDs/G) and CQDs/G as an active material for lithium anode in electronic testing. The test results displayed 35% Cs4PbBr6 quantum dots content in CQDs/G, showing an excellent cycle performance (136.5 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g−1 current density) and good rate ability. Graphite protected the CQDs in the long term, and has high potential economic value.
