Needle coke is attracting attention as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high reaction rates, but its low specific capacity still remains a problem to be solved. In this study, we attempted to improve the discharge capacity of needle coke-based anodes by introducing oxygen into the needle coke with ozone treatments.
Needle coke-based lithium-ion batteries with oxygen introduced through ozone treatment showed capacity increases of up to 17.4% and retention rates of 64.25% at 5 C. Therefore, introducing oxygen functional groups into needle cokes through ozonation is a viable strategy for producing rapid and high-capacity anode materials.
