The application provides an
iodine-doped
starch-based carbon material and a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
starch-based carbon materials. The method comprises the following steps: mixing
starch, an
iodine source and a water-soluble dispersant in a
solvent, aging,
drying and crushing to obtain a purple red to blue purple inclusion precursor; and then performing gradient
carbonization treatment in an
inert atmosphere to obtain the
iodine-doped starch-based carbon material. The application realizes the inclusion and molecular-level anchoring through the
van der Waals force between the spiral cavity of the linear starch and the iodine element, and relies on the water-soluble dispersant to form a physical encapsulation layer on the surface of the starch in situ in the low-temperature
carbonization stage, cooperates with the high-temperature
carbonization process, and inhibits the volatilization of the iodine element to realize the
doping of
high iodine content. The obtained material is characterized in that the iodine is embedded in the
carbon skeleton in a P-pi conjugate state, the
conductivity is significantly enhanced, the carrier concentration is improved, and the
sodium ion storage capacity is improved, so that the reversible specific capacity is improved and the first circle coulombic efficiency is improved.
