Abstract: A novel easily-scalable "top-down" method was used to prepare graphite cathode materials with chara-cteristics of few layers, small size and defect-free, which further increases the embedding sites of ions and breaks the inherent capacity limitation of graphite, so as to improve the electrochemical performance of aluminum ion batteries. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the properties of graphite materials, indicating that the proposed "top-down" method is able to realize the stripping of graphite without destroying the structure and achieve effective control of the thickness and size of graphite layer by adjusting the ball milling time. Electrochemical test results showed that the discharge capacities of G-48 reached 93 mAh·g-1 under a current density of 3C and still retained 68 mAh·g-1 under a high current density of 10C with excellent cycling performance. In addition, the preparation process is simple and low cost, which provides a good foundation for promoting the commercial application of the high-capacity and long-life aluminum ion batteries.
