Quasicrystals have long-range quasi-periodic translational ordering and non-crystallographic rotational symmetry.Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals have great potential for lithium storage because of their high Al content and a large number of defects in the structure.In our previous study (J.Alloys Compd.805 (2019) 942) we showed that Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals have good initial capacity whereas its cycle stability is poor.In the present study,graphite/AlCuFe is prepared by the mechanical alloying method.The results show that graphite/AlCuFe quasicrystal composites are successfully synthesized by planetary ball milling at 550rpm for 80 h.The quasicrystal particle size decreases and the amorphous graphite forms onion-like carbon (OLC) when the two phases mix evenly.OLC forms on the surface of the Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline powder.Charge and discharge tests show that graphite/AlCuFe quasicrystal composites have high-stability capacity of 480mAh/g after 20 cycles,which is larger than the sum of capacities of graphite and Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals.
