Carbon aerogels are nanostructure porous carbon materials which are derived via a sol-gel process with resorcinol and formodehyde and subsequent pyrolysis of the precursor aerogels.Due to their high surface area, electrically conducting network and chemical inertness, carbon aerogels can be considered ideal electrodes in rechargeable batteries.In this paper the optimization of the preparation and structure controlling of carbon aerogels are studied.Carbon electrodes are prepared using carbon aerogels powders and graphite powders and the mixed powders and binder, seperately.With different electrodes as the anode and with lithium metal foil as the cathode, cells are made.Electrochemical measurements of the lithium intercalation properties for carbon aerogels are performed under high-purity argon in a glove box.The model cells show that the capacity for the first cycle and the rechargeable capacity are all very high.The initial charge capacity is 1074mAh/g.And mixed anode reveals better properties.
