Abstract

Tetra-β-nitro-substituted nickel phthalocyanine (TN-NiPc) and hollow phthalocyanine (TN-H2Pc) were synthesized and investigated as novel organic electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries. After the two H atoms in the center of TN-H2Pc were replaced with Ni atoms, the interactive force between the phthalocyanine rings was reduced, which resulted in a fluffy morphology for the TN-NiPc that was beneficial to the transition of Li+. As a result, better electrochemical properties and reversibility were observed in the TN-NiPc electrodes compared to the TN-H2Pc electrode. The capacity of TN-NiPc electrode was stable at about 280 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C after 250 cycles at several different current rates of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 C. The TN-NiPc based cathode materials may provide new opportunities for organic, flexible, and stable secondary lithium batteries.

The TN-NiPc electrode shows better electrochemical properties than that of TN-H 2 Pc electrode, which is due to the strong hydrogen bond interaction and π-π interaction of TN-H 2 Pc molecules, resulting in more dense stacking degree of the phthalocyanine ring and restricting the transport of Li+ .
