A method for manufacturing a porous carbon material doped with a heterogeneous element and a porous carbon material doped with a heterogeneous element manufactured using the method are proposed. The method includes melting carbon precursor powder that contains one or more kinds of heterogeneous elements selected from metal and nonmetal to prepare a precursor melt; disposing a pair of metal wires in the precursor melt; and applying power to the metal wires to perform plasma-discharge, thus forming and aggregating carbon nanoparticles doped with the heterogeneous element while having a micropore and thereby forming a porous carbon material having a meso-macro hierarchical pore structure. As the heterogeneous element is bound to carbon of the carbon precursor, the carbon nanoparticles are formed in an amorphous structure while being doped with the heterogeneous element, thus increasing an active site.

Method for manufacturing porous carbon material doped with heterogeneous element and porous carbon material doped with heterogeneous element prepared therefrom

The present invention relates to a lithium-carbon composite having cavities formed therein and a method of manufacturing the same, the method including adding and mixing an organic solvent having an aromatic ring with a lithium precursor, arranging a pair of metal wires in the organic solvent, forming a lithium-carbon composite in which a carbon body is doped with lithium through plasma discharge in a solution, and annealing the lithium-carbon composite in order to remove hydrogen from the lithium-carbon composite and form cavities in the lithium-carbon composite. Accordingly, a lithium-carbon composite can be simply synthesized using plasma discharge in a solution, and the synthesized lithium-carbon composite can be annealed to thus form cavities therein, thereby increasing the lithium charge and discharge performance of a lithium secondary battery using the lithium-carbon composite.
