Graphene is an attractive candidate for use as an electrode material in electrochemical energy storage due to its unique structure and excellent properties. Compared with graphene, nanoporous graphene is a superior electrode material, owing to the porous structure of its graphene sheets, which facilitates cross-plane lithium ion transportation and provides more binding sites for the lithium ions during the lithiation/delithiation process. In this work, we demonstrate a simple and efficient strategy for obtaining nanoporous graphene on a large scale. Nanoporous graphene can be generated through the oxidation of graphene oxide by H2O2 under high-power UV irradiation with a subsequent reduction process. The morphology, chemical composition and defects of the as-generated nanoporous graphene were studied. The electrochemical evaluation of the nanoporous graphene sheets showed that it delivered higher specific capacity and better charge/discharge rate capability compared with chemically reduced graphene sheets for use as an anode material in lithium ion batteries.
