Abstract

Herein, a novel in situ concentrated-solution-induced polymerization strategy is developed towards the integration of Schiff-base networks into graphene foam with processable and moldable characteristics. This bottom-up design process endows the resultant composites with a high nitrogen content (9.6 at%) and abundant porosity and accordingly demonstrates high lithium storage properties.
