▎ 摘 要
A highly efficient and continuous high-pressure homogenization (HPH) approach is developed for scalable production of graphene sheets and sandwich-structured alpha-Fe2O3/graphene hybrids by liquid-phase exfoliation of stage-1 FeC1(3)-based graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). The enlarged interlayer spacing of FeC1(3)-GICs facilitates their efficient exfoliation to produce high-quality graphene sheets. Moreover, sandwich-structured alpha-Fe2O3/few-layer graphene (FLG) hybrids are readily fabricated by thermally annealing the FeC1(3) intercalated FLG sheets. As an anode material of Li-ion battery, alpha-Fe2O3/FLG hybrid shows a satisfactory long-term cycling performance with an excellent specific capacity of 1100.5 mA h g(-1) after 350 cycles at 200 mA g(-1). A high reversible capacity of 658.5 mA h g-1 is achieved after 200 cycles at 1 A g(-1) and maintained without notable decay. The satisfactory cycling stability and the outstanding capability of alpha-Fe2O3/FLG hybrid are attributed to its unique sandwiched structure consisting of highly conducting FLG sheets and covalently anchored alpha-Fe2O3 particles. Therefore, the highly efficient and scalable preparation of high-quality graphene sheets along with the excellent electrochemical properties of alpha-Fe2O3/FLG hybrids makes the HPH approach promising for producing high-performance graphene-based energy storage materials.
