Abstrakt: Biomass-derived carbon showed much promise as it eliminates fossil fuel dependency and has several other advantages, such as being renewable, abundant, and environmentally friendly. In the present study, activated carbon is derived from foetida biomass using a single-step synthesis method. Nitrogen-doping studies were carried out to improve the electronic conductivity and found that the 1:0.5 weight ratio of carbon to nitrogen source is a critical composition which exhibited improved electronic conductivity without losing substantial surface area and porosity. The critical composition showed outstanding electrochemical performance versus Li-metal, with a reversible discharge capacity of 423 mAh/g at 0.1A/g current density. Also, it showed good cycling stability, 310 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.1A/g current density. The nitrogen-doped activated carbon material has the potential to be used as anode material in rechargeable Li-ion batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
