摘要

The performance of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) hinges critically on anode materials, yet developing low-cost, high-performance alternatives remain challenging. Herein, a sustainable and globally abundant marine “bio-pollutant” Ulva prolifera (UP) supported Fe3O4 (Fe3O4/UPC) composite anode is simply constructed via in-situ hydrothermal and post-annealing process, where Fe3+ acts as both reactant and morphology-directing agent. The spherical/particle architecture of Fe3O4/UPC affords a compact yet porous structure that facilitates rapid Li+ transport, thereby enhancing the ion diffusion kinetics and overall electrochemical performance of the battery. The resulting electrode delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 1123 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 and retains 960 mAh g-1 after 700 cycles. This work not only presents a cost-effective route to high-capacity LIB anodes but also transforms ecological waste into functional energy materials, offering a dual solution for environmental remediation and advanced battery design.
