The invention discloses a preparation method of multi-edge
graphene and an
aluminum ion battery prepared by the method. The preparation method comprises the following steps of removing an
oxide layeron surfaces of the
nickel particles and connecting the
nickel particles with each other; then growing
graphene on the surfaces of the flaky
nickel particles to form a nickel net structure covered withthe
graphene; covering a layer of PMMA (
polymethyl methacrylate) on the surface of the nickel net structure covered with the graphene to obtain a PMMA / graphene / nickel net structure; removing the
metal nickel by using acid to obtain a PMMA / graphene structure sample; and finally, removing PMMA to obtain the multi-edge graphene. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, the nickel particles are used as the template and the catalyst to prepare the independent multi-edge graphene with improved
energy density, excellent
mechanical strength and excellent
conductivity at low temperature through a
chemical vapor deposition process, the multi-edge graphene is an excellent positive
electrode material of the rechargeable
aluminum ion battery; and the method realizes low
energy consumption and low cost, large-scale
mass production is facilitated, and the
aluminum ion battery based on the multi-edge graphene has a wide
working temperature range and high coulombic efficiency.
