Abstract

Biomaterial has a significant place in energy storage for its utilization of renewable and cost-effective advantages. Herein, we study a hard carbon material (MHC) derived from the maple leaves through a simple carbonization and HNO3-treated activation. XPS and FT-IR analysis shows that the carbon materials are naturally functionalized by O/N-containing groups. Such a dual O/N-containing MHC, when used as a potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) electrode, shows an excellent capacity of 273.2 mAh g−1 (50 mA g−1) at the 100th cycle and good cycling performance of 141.9 mAh g−1 (1 A g−1) at the 1000th cycle. Thereby, it provides an environmentally friendly method of making maple leaf waste profitable in term of anode materials for PIBs.
