The anode of a lithium ion battery was prepared by the thermal treatment of PFO (pyrolysis fuel oil) utilizing the following three steps: PFO → pitch → coke → anode. The PFO-based pitch with a high softening point exhibited high discharge capacity and Coulombic efficiency because of turbostratic disorder within the disordered structures. A two-step intermediate heating process during the (pitch → coke) reaction induced the remaining relatively light components to participate in condensation/cross-linking reactions during anode formation (coke → anode). The intermediate heating provided a high discharge capacity and a first-cycle Coulombic efficiency based on a well-ordered and suitable micropore structure for lithium storage sites.
