Popis: The fabrication of robust and high-performance graphene-based electrodes on engineering plastics has garnered significant attention in recent years. In this study, we present a novel methodology to produce porous graphene structures derived from epoxy resin (EP) utilizing a straightforward laser direct-scribing process. Under the influence of a CO2 laser in an ambient atmosphere, EP undergoes a transformation to yield laser-induced graphene (LIG-APP/EP). Furthermore, this LIG-APP/EP was employed to construct an electrode for lithium-ion batteries, which exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance. Notably, the initial charge and discharge capacities of the LIG-APP/EP electrode material were recorded at 976 and 1,452 mAh g−1, respectively, with a coulombic efficiency of 67.2%. Such impressive performance can be ascribed to the hierarchical porous architecture of LIG-APP/EP and the concurrent doping with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) atoms. Given these findings, LIG-APP/EP demonstrates significant potential for applications in advanced electrochemical systems. This innovative approach also offers profound implications for the sustainable recycling of discarded engineering plastics.
