The invention provides a preparation method of high-
nitrogen-
doped graphene nanoparticles and application of the high-
nitrogen-
doped graphene nanoparticles as a negative material of a
lithium ion battery. The corresponding method comprises the following steps: slowly dropwise adding a preset quantity of
zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3))
methanol solution into a
methanol mixed solution which is prepared from a preset amount of 2-methylimidazole (C4H6N2) and a preset amount of
polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), magnetically stirring and standing for preset time, carrying out
centrifugal separation to obtain ZIF-8(a complex formed by
zinc and 2-methylimidazole) nanoparticles; and putting the obtained ZIF-8 nanoparticles in a high-temperature furnace and calcining at 600-1,000 DEG C for preset time in the
nitrogen atmosphere to obtain the high-nitrogen-
doped graphene nanoparticles. The preparation process of the high-nitrogen-doped
graphene nanoparticles is simple, and the high-nitrogen-doped
graphene nanoparticles are uniform in shape, relatively large in specific surface and high in content of nitrogen, and have great application potentials in aspects of
lithium ion batteries,
electrochemical energy storage,
catalysis and the like. The preparation method of the high-nitrogen-doped
graphene nanoparticles is simple and efficient, safe and liable to implement, short in synthesis cycle, is capable of preparing a large quantity of high-nitrogen-doped
graphene nanoparticles and is expected to be popularized and industrially applied.
