Introducing a Pseudocapacitive Lithium Storage Mechanism into Graphite by Defect Engineering for Fast-Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries

treatment succeeds in improving the kinetics of lithium ion intercalation at the rate-determining step during lithiation, which is identified by the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Therefore, this study provides a novel strategy for fast-charging LIBs. Moreover, this facile method is also suitable for activating other carbon-based materials.
