Abstract

The PTPAn/active carbon compounds were synthesized by heterogeneous precipitation method.The SEM results show that the size of the PTPAn decreases from about 150 nm to few ten nanometers after being incorporated with active carbon.The PTPAn/active carbon compounds have excellent rate and cycling performance:the discharge capacity increases from 88.5 mAh/g to 105 mAh/g at 0.5 C charge/discharge rate and can reach to 70 mAh/g even at 40 C charge/discharge rate.And the capacity retention of the PTPAn/active carbon compounds remain almost unchanged after 1000 cycles at 40 C charge/discharge rate.
