Abstract
Searching for three-dimensional(3D) semiconducting carbon allotropes with proper bandgaps and excellent optoelectronic properties is always the chasing goal for the new emerging all-carbon optoelectronics. On the other side, 3D carbon materials have also been recognized as promising anode materials superior to commercialized graphite in Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, using first-principles calculations, we propose two novel 3D carbon allotropes through acetylenic linkages modification of two structurally intimately correlated 3D carbon structures - carbon kagome lattice(CKL)and interpenetrated graphene network(IGN). The modified CKL is a truly direct-gap semiconductor and possibly possesses the strongest optical transition coefficient amongst of all semiconducting carbon allotropes. The suitable bandgap and small effective masses also imply it can be a good electron transport material(ETM) for perovskite solar cells. As for the modified IGN, it is a topological nodal-line semimetal and shows greatly enhanced specific capacity as anode materials in LIBs comparing to that of IGN. Our work not only finds two new 3D carbon phases with fabulous physical and chemical properties for high-performance optoelectronics and Li-ion anode material, we also offer a fresh view to create various carbon structures with versatile properties.
