▎ 摘  要

Dense carbon materials with fast sodium storage performance are strongly desired for developing high-energy and high-power devices, but remain challenging because of the sluggish Na+ transport kinetics. Herein, we report that the defect density and sp(2) cluster size of dense graphene blocks (DGB) can be elaborately modulated by ball-milling to achieve both high gravimetric and volumetric capacities and outstanding rate performance for Na+ storage. The loose graphene flakes are cut into small platelets with enriched defects and simultaneously densified by mechanical forces, leading to abundant active sites for Na+ storage, controlled sp(2) size as conducive networks, and large interlayer spacing for fast Na+ transport. The DGB performs a novel capacitive Na+ storage with high capacities of 507 mAh g(-1) and 397 mAh cm(-3) at 50 mA g(-1), and an ultrahigh rate of 181 mAh g(-1) at 10 A g(-1). It also shows a remarkable cycle stability due to the strongly-coupled layer structure. The comprehensive performance is superior to most of the reported carbons. The Na-ion capacitor delivers an ultrahigh energy density of 45 Wh kg(-1) even at 14,205 W kg(-1). Our work broadens the avenue for preparing advanced carbon materials for compact Na+ storage.
