Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are becoming an important technology for energy storage. To overcome the disadvantages of traditional electrodes and electrolytes, here we assemble a dual-carbon DIB with nanodiamond (ND)-modified crimped graphene (DCG) and electrolyte. The DCG anode and cathode realize high capacities of 1121 mA h g –1 and 149 mA h g –1, respectively, at 0.1 A g –1 . The corresponding DCG//DCG full cells present a high capacity of 143 mA h g –1 at 1 A g –1 after 3300 cycles, which is superior to most reported results. Achieving these record performances is strongly dependent on the formed DCG electrodes with expanded interlayer spacing and abundant active sites, and NDs dispersed in DCG and electrolytes are very helpful for enhancing the storage of both cations and anions, effectively suppressing the irreversible decomposition of electrolytes. This work breaks through the bottleneck of graphitic-based DIBs, paving the way for realizing high-performance DIBs applied in industry.
