Abstract
Energy storage systems, particularly rechargeable batteries, play a crucial role in establishing a sustainable energy infrastructure. Today, researchers focus on improving battery energy density, cycling stability, and rate performance. This involves enhancing existing materials or creating new ones with advanced properties for cathodes and anodes to achieve peak battery performance. Graphene aerogels (GAs) possess extraordinary attributes, including a hierarchical porous and lightweight structure, high electrical conductivity, and robust mechanical stability. These qualities facilitate the uniform distribution of active sites within electrodes, mitigate volume changes during repeated cycling, and enhance overall conductivity. When integrated into batteries, GAs expedite electron/ion transport, offer exceptional structural stability, and deliver outstanding cycling performance. This review offers a comprehensive survey of the advancements in the preparation, functionalization, and modification of GAs in the context of battery research. It explores their application as electrodes and hosts for the dispersion of active material nanoparticles, resulting in the creation of hybrid electrodes for a wide range of rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), Li-metal-air batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) and zinc-air batteries (ZABs), aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) and aluminum-air batteries and other.

Abstract
LiFePO4 is widely used because of its high safety and cycle stability, but its inefficient electronic conductivity combined with sluggish Li+ diffusivity restricts its performance. To overcome this obstacle, applying a layer of conductive carbon onto the surface of LiFePO4 has the greatest improvement in electronic conductivity and Li+ diffusivity. However, the rate performance of carbon-coated LiFePO4 makes it difficult to meet the application requirements. Although nitrogen doping improves electrochemical performance by providing active sites and electronic conductivity, the N-doped carbon coating is prone to agglomeration, which causes a sharp decrease in capacity when the current rate increases. In this work, a synergistic N, Mn codoping strategy is implemented to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by disrupting the large agglomeration of C-N bonds, improving the uniformity of the surface coating layer to enhance the completeness of the conductive network and increasing the number of Li+ diffusion channels, and thus accelerating the mass transfer rate under high-rate current. Consequently, this strategy effectively improves the rate capability (119 mA h g-1 at 10 C) while maintaining excellent cycling performance (88% capacity retention over 600 cycles at 5 C). This work improves the rate of ion diffusion and the rate capability of micrometer-sized LiFePO4, thus, enabling its wider application.

Abstract
Eliminating the use of critical metals in cathode materials can accelerate global adoption of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Organic cathode materials, derived entirely from earth-abundant elements, are in principle ideal alternatives but have not yet challenged inorganic cathodes due to poor conductivity, low practical storage capacity, or poor cyclability. Here, we describe a layered organic electrode material whose high electrical conductivity, high storage capacity, and complete insolubility enable reversible intercalation of Li+ ions, allowing it to compete at the electrode level, in all relevant metrics, with inorganic-based lithium-ion battery cathodes. Our optimized cathode stores 306 mAh g-1cathode, delivers an energy density of 765 Wh kg-1cathode, higher than most cobalt-based cathodes, and can charge-discharge in as little as 6 min. These results demonstrate the operational competitiveness of sustainable organic electrode materials in practical batteries.

Abstract
In this work, the thermal stability of four types of 18,650 lithium-ion batteries with LiCoO2 (LCO), LiFePO4 (LFP), LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) and LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) materials as cathodes are experimentally investigated by the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) and the isothermal battery testing calorimeter (iso-BTC) under adiabatic and isothermal conditions, respectively. The thermal runaway danger level of these batteries can be ranked as LCO > NCA > NCM811 >> LFP by judging from the values of Tmax and HRmax, nominal. The higher the nickel and cobalt content, the higher the lithium-ion battery capacity, but the worse the thermal stability. The Qtotal of NCA is the largest in the complete standard charge and discharge process, due to that the capacity of NCA is significantly higher than that of the other three batteries, resulting in remarkable increase in Qirre proportioned to the square of the current. When the ambient temperature rises, the energy release decreases owing to the decrease in the internal resistance of the battery. These studies are expected to have important implications for the subsequent safe design of commercial lithium-ion batteries with different cathode materials.

Abstract
Direct regeneration of spent lithium-ion batteries has received wide attention owing to its potential for resource reuse and environmental benefits. The repair effect of direct regeneration methods undergoing heterogeneous repair process is usually inferior, while homogenous repair process plays a vital role to achieve satisfactory repair results. However, the practical applications of current homogeneous repair methods are challenged by the complex operations and relatively high costs owing to the requirement of additional heating or pressurization. Herein, this work proposes a simple strategy to achieve homogeneous repair of spent cathode materials under relatively mild conditions by uniformly precoating lithium source at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Followed by annealing, highly degraded LiNi0.83 Co0.12 Mn0.05 O2 with severe Li deficiency and irreversible phase transition is repaired to have an initial capacity of 181.6 mAh g-1 and capacity retention of 80.7% after 150 cycles at 0.5 C. The lithium source used in this strategy is from the spent lithium anode. Moreover, this strategy is suitable for the direct regeneration of various layer oxide cathode materials with different failure degrees. This work provides both theoretical guidance and practical examples for the straightforward, effective, and universally applicable direct regeneration methods.

Abstract
In this study, the thermodynamic stability, embedding voltage, volume change rate, electronic structure properties, mechanical properties and lithium-ion diffusion characteristics of the Mn, N co-doped LiFePO4 material are investigated using a first-principles approach based on density generalization theory. The results show that the doped system has a low formation energy and the material meets the thermodynamic stability criteria. During the de-lithium process, the volume change rate of the doped material decreases and the cycling performance is improved, but the battery energy density decreases slightly. It is also found that the doping of N led to the transformation of the material from a p-type semiconductor to an N-type semiconductor, while the doping of Mn and N lead to the creation of impurity bands, narrowing of the band gap and an increase in conductivity. At the same time, Mn, N co-doping greatly improve the ductility of the material, suppress the generation of microcracks, and reduce the possibility of shear deformation. In addition, it is noteworthy that the lithium-ion diffusion energy barrier of the doped system is reduced, which predicts an increase in the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the doped system.

Abstract
Lithium batteries incorporating LiFePO4 (LFP) as the cathode material have gained significant attention in recent research. However, the limited electronic and ionic conductivity of LFP poses challenges to its cycling performance and overall efficiency. In this study, we address these issues by synthesizing a series of LiFePO4/carbon (LFP/C) composites through low-temperature carbonization coating of LFP in the presence of Coke as the carbon source. The resulting lithium batteries utilizing LFP/C as the cathode material exhibited impressive discharge specific capacities of 148.35 mA·h/g and 126.74 mA·h/g at 0.1 C and 1 C rates, respectively. Even after 200 cycles of charging and discharging, the capacities remained remarkably high, with values of 93.74% and 97.05% retention, showcasing excellent cycling stability. Notably, the LFP/C composite displayed exceptional rate capability, and capacity retention of 99.27% after cycling at different multiplication rates. These findings underscore the efficacy of in situ low-temperature carbonization capping of LFP with Coke in significantly improving both the cycling stability and rate capability of lithium batteries.

Abstract
Due to their stability and structural freedom, NASICON-structured materials such as NaTi2(PO4)3 show a lot of promise as active electrode materials for aqueous batteries and deionization cells. However, due to their low intrinsic electronic conductivity, they must usually be composited with carbon to form suitable electrodes for power applications. In this work, two series of NaTi2(PO4)3-carbon composite structures were successfully prepared by different approaches: postsynthetic pyrolytic treatment of citric acid and surface polymerized dopamine. The latter route allows for a superior carbon loading control and yields more uniform and continuous particle coatings. The homogeneity of the polydopamine derived core-shell carbon layer is supported by FTIR, TEM, and XPS analysis. Combustion elemental analysis also indicates significant nitrogen doping in the final carbonaceous structure. The galvanostatic charge and discharge cycling results show similar initial capacities and their retention, but at only half of the carbon loading in polydopamine derived samples. The overall results indicate that careful nanostructure engineering could yield materials with superior properties and stability suitable for various electrochemical applications such as aqueous Na-ion batteries and deionization cells.

Abstract
Graphite, commonly including artificial graphite and natural graphite (NG), possesses a relatively high theoretical capacity of 372 mA h g-1 and appropriate lithiation/de-lithiation potential, and has been extensively used as the anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). With the requirements of reducing CO2 emission to achieve carbon neutral, the market share of NG anode will continue to grow due to its excellent processability and low production energy consumption. NG, which is abundant in China, can be divided into flake graphite (FG) and microcrystalline graphite (MG). In the past 30 years, many researchers have focused on developing modified NG and its derivatives with superior electrochemical performance, promoting their wide applications in LIBs. Here, a comprehensive overview of the origin, roles, and research progress of NG-based materials in ongoing LIBs is provided, including their structure, properties, electrochemical performance, modification methods, derivatives, composites, and applications, especially the strategies to improve their high-rate and low-temperature charging performance. Prospects regarding the development orientation as well as future applications of NG-based materials are also considered, which will provide significant guidance for the current and future research of high-energy-density LIBs.

Abstract
With the highest energy density ever among all sorts of commercialized rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have stimulated an upsurge utilization in 3C devices, electric vehicles, and stationary energy-storage systems. However, a high performance of commercial LIBs based on ethylene carbonate electrolytes and graphite anodes can only be achieved at above -20 °C, which restricts their applications in harsh environments. Here, a comprehensive research progress and in-depth understanding of the critical factors leading to the poor low-temperature performance of LIBs is provided; the distinctive challenges on the anodes, electrolytes, cathodes, and electrolyte-electrodes interphases are sorted out, with a special focus on Li-ion transport mechanism therein. Finally, promising strategies and solutions for improving low-temperature performance are highlighted to maximize the working-temperature range of the next-generation high-energy Li-ion/metal batteries.

Abstract
The increasing demand for high-energy Li-ion batteries (LIBs) continues to push the development of electrode materials, particularly cathode materials, towards their capacity limits. Despite the enormous success, the stability and reliability of LIBs are becoming a serious concern due to the much-aggravated side reactions between electrode materials and organic electrolytes. How to stabilize the cathode/electrolyte interface is therefore an imperative and urgent task drawing considerable attention from both academia and industry. An active treatment on the surface of cathode materials, usually by introducing an inert protection layer, to diminish their side reaction with electrolytes turns out to be a reasonable and effective strategy. This Feature Article firstly outlines our synthesis efforts for the construction of a uniform surface nanocoating on various cathode materials. Different wet chemical routes have been designed to facilitate the control of growth kinetics of targeted coating species so that a precise surface coating could be achieved with nanometer accuracy. Furthermore, we showed the possibility to transform the outer coating layer into a surface doping effect through surface solid reaction at high temperature. A detailed discussion on the structure-performance relationship of these surface-controlled cathode materials is introduced to probe the stabilization mechanism. Finally, perspectives on the development tendency of high-energy cathodes for stable LIBs are provided.

Abstract
Lithium battery materials can be advantageously used for the selective sequestration of lithium ions from natural resources, which contain other cations in high excess. However, for practical applications, this new approach for lithium production requires the battery host materials to be stable over many cycles while retaining the high lithium selectivity. Here, a nearly symmetrical cell design was employed to show that LiFePO4 shows good capacity retention with cycling in artificial lithium brines representative of brines from Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. A quantitative correlation was identified between brine viscosity and capacity degradation, and for the first time it was demonstrated that the dilution of viscous brines with water significantly enhanced capacity retention and rate capability. The electrochemical and X-ray diffraction characterisation of the cycled electrodes also showed that the high lithium selectivity was preserved with cycling. Raman spectra of the cycled electrodes showed no signs of degradation of the carbon coating of LiFePO4 , while scanning electron microscopy images showed signs of particle cracking, thus pointing towards interfacial reactions as the cause of capacity degradation.

Abstract
Large-scale implementation of all-solid-state lithium batteries is impeded by the physical limitations of the interface between the electrode and solid electrolyte; specifically, high resistance and poor stability, as well as poor compatibility with Li+ migration. We report double ionic-electronic transfer interface layers grown at electrode-electrolyte interfaces by in situ polymerization of 2,2'-bithiophene in polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolyte. For all-solid-state LiFePO4 ∥PT-PEO-PT∥Li cells, the formation of a conductive polythiophene (PT) layer at the cathode-electrolyte interface resulted in an at least sevenfold decrease in interface resistance, and realized a capacity retention of about 94 % after 1000 cycles along with a lower polarization voltage under a rate of 2 C. The mixed ionic-electronic conductive layers imparted superior interface stability and contact while keeping good compatibility with the Li anode.

Abstract
The development of efficient and stable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at low cost is crucial for realizing the large-scale application of metal-air batteries. Herein, we report an efficient ORR catalyst of bimetallic copper and cobalt fluoride heterojunctions, which are uniformly dispersed in nitrogen-fluorine-oxygen triply doped porous carbon nanofibers (PCNFs) that contain hierarchical macro-meso-micro pores. The composite catalyst materials are fabricated with a facile and green method of electrospinning with water as the solvent. By using poly(tetrafluoroethylene) as the pore inducer to anchor electropositive copper and cobalt salts in the electrospun hybrid nanofibers, bimetallic fluoride heterojunctions can be directly formed in PCNFs after calcination. The hierachical porous structures provide an effective way to transport matter, while the bimetallic fluorides expose abundant electroactive sites, both of which result in stable ORR activities with a high half-wave potential of 0.84 V. The study proposes a feasible strategy for the fabrication of nonprecious catalysts.

Abstract
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is broadly used as a low-cost cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, but its low ionic and electronic conductivity limit the rate performance. We report herein the synthesis of LiFePO4/graphite composites in which LiFePO4 nanoparticles were grown within a graphite matrix. The graphite matrix is porous, highly conductive, and mechanically robust, giving electrodes outstanding cycle performance and high rate capability. High-mass-loading electrodes with high reversible capacity (160 mA h g-1 under 0.2 C), ultrahigh rate capability (107 mA h g-1 under 60 C), and outstanding cycle performance (>95% reversible capacity retention over 2000 cycles) were achieved, providing a new strategy toward low-cost, long-life, and high-power batteries. Adoption of such material leads to electrodes with volumetric energy density as high as 427 W h L-1 under 60 C, which is of great interest for electric vehicles and other applications.

Abstract
Hybrid polymer electrolytes with excellent performance at high temperatures are very promising for developing solid-state lithium batteries for high-temperature applications. Herein, we use a self-supporting hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire membrane as a filler to improve the performance of a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid-state electrolyte. The HAP membrane could comprehensively improve the properties of the hybrid polymer electrolyte, including the higher room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.05 × 10-5 S cm-1, broad electrochemical windows of up to 5.9 V at 60 °C and 4.9 V at 160 °C, and a high lithium-ion migration of 0.69. In addition, the LiFePO4//Li full battery with a solid electrolyte possesses good rate capability, cycling, and Coulomb efficiency at extreme high temperatures, that is, after 300 continuous charge and discharge cycles at 4 C rate, the discharge capacity retention rate is 77% and the Coulomb efficiency is 99%. The use of the flexible self-supporting HAP nanowire membrane to improve the PEO-based solid composite electrolyte provides new strategies and opportunities for developing rechargeable lithium batteries in extreme high-temperature applications.

Abstract
Organic-ligand-based solution processes of metal and transition metal oxide (TMO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied for the preparation of electrode materials with desired electrical and electrochemical properties for various energy devices. However, the ligands adsorbed on NPs have a significant effect on the intrinsic properties of materials, thus influencing the performance of bulk electrodes assembled by NPs for energy devices. To resolve these critical drawbacks, numerous approaches have focused on developing unique surface chemistry that can exchange bulky ligands with small ligands or remove bulky ligands from NPs after NP deposition. In particular, recent studies have reported that the ligand-exchange-induced layer-by-layer (LE-LbL) assembly of NPs enables controlled assembly of NPs with the desired interparticle distance, and interfaces, dramatically improving the electrical/electrochemical performance of electrodes. This emerging approach also demonstrates that efficient surface ligand engineering can exploit the unique electrochemical properties of individual NPs and maximize the electrochemical performance of the resultant NP-assembled electrodes through improved charge transfer efficiency. This report focuses on how LE-LbL assembly can be effectively applied to NP-based energy storage/conversion electrodes. First, the basic principles of the LE-LbL approach are introduced and then recent progress on NP-based energy electrodes prepared via the LE-LbL approach is reviewed.

Abstract
Layered lithium-rich cathode materials have attracted extensive interest owing to their high theoretical specific capacity (320-350 mA h g-1 ). However, poor cycling stability and sluggish reaction kinetics inhibit their practical applications. After many years of quiescence, interest in layered lithium-rich cathode materials is expected to revive in answer to our increasing dependence on high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Herein, we review recent research progress and in-depth descriptions of the structure characterization and reaction mechanisms of layered lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials. In particular, we comprehensively summarize the proposed reaction mechanisms of both the cationic redox reaction of transition-metal ions and the anionic redox reaction of oxygen species. Finally, we discuss opportunities and challenges facing the future development of lithium-rich cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Phase boundary movement accomplishing reversible LiFePO4/FePO4 biphasic transition is a fundamental Li-ion intercalation/deintercalation mechanism for LiFePO4 cathode. Phase boundary energetically favors crack nucleation and propagation; thus, postmortem observation on cracks becomes a feasible approach to investigate the phase-transition behavior and the Li-ion diffusion mechanism. The previously observed (200) plane cracks facilitate the "domino" diffusion model. Herein, our microscopic observations reveal another type of cracks along the (020) planes in a commercial LiFePO4 cathode cycled at moderate rates (0.1C, 0.33C, and 1C). Such (020) plane cracks are more detrimental to electrochemical performance because they can cut off the Li-ion diffusion pathway, causing inactive segments of LiFePO4. The (020) plane cracks indicate the LiFePO4/FePO4 phase boundary is along the (020) plane and moving along the b-axis during battery operation, which is a typical bulk diffusion-limited Li-ion diffusion behavior. Our observations stress that large LiFePO4 primary particle (>200 nm) not only aggravates cracking degradation but also switches the Li-ion diffusion mode to a slow bulk diffusion mechanism, plunging the overall battery performance.

Abstract
Core-multishelled structures with controlled chemical composition have attracted great interest due to their fascinating electrochemical performance. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF self-templated strategy is used to fabricate okra-like bimetal sulfide (Fe7 S8 /C@ZnS/N-C@C) with core-double-shelled structure, in which Fe7 S8 /C is distributed in the cores, and ZnS is embedded in one of the layers. The MOF-on-MOF precursor with an MIL-53 core, a ZIF-8 shell, and a resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) layer (MIL-53@ZIF-8@RF) is prepared through a layer-by-layer assembly method. After calcination with sulfur powder, the resultant structure has a hierarchical carbon matrix, abundant internal interface, and tiered active material distribution. It provides fast sodium-ion reaction kinetics, a superior pseudocapacitance contribution, good resistance of volume changes, and stepwise sodiation/desodiation reaction mechanism. As an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, the electrochemical performance of Fe7 S8 /C@ZnS/N-C@C is superior to that of Fe7 S8 /C@ZnS/N-C, Fe7 S8 /C, or ZnS/N-C. It delivers a high and stable capacity of 364.7 mAh g-1 at current density of 5.0 A g-1 with 10 000 cycles, and registers only 0.00135% capacity decay per cycle. This MOF-on-MOF self-templated strategy may provide a method to construct core-multishelled structures with controlled component distributions for the energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries based on the most abundant elements, such as sodium and iron, have a great potential in the development of cost effective sodium ion batteries for large scale energy storage devices. We report, for the first time, crystallite size dependent structural investigations on maricite-NaFePO4 through X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and theoretical simulations. Rietveld refinement analysis on the X-ray diffraction data reveals that a decrease in the unit cell parameters leads to volume contraction upon reduction in the crystallite size. Further, the atomic multiplet simulations on X-ray absorption spectra provide unequivocally a change in the site symmetry of transition metal ions. The high resolution oxygen K-edge spectra reveal a substantial change in the bonding character with the reduction of crystallite size, which is the fundamental cause for the change in the unit cell parameters of maricite-NaFePO4. In parallel, we performed first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations on maricite-NaFePO4 with different sodium ion vacancy concentrations. The obtained structural parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental observations on the mesostructured maricite-NaFePO4. The volumetric changes with respect to crystallite size are related to the compressive strain, resulting in the improvement in the electronic diffusivity. The nano-crystalline maricite-NaFePO4 with improved kinetics will open a new avenue for its usage as a cathode material in sodium ion batteries.

Abstract
Herein, the Cu2P2O7/carbon-nanotube nanocomposite is reported as a cathode material based on a conversion reaction for rechargeable sodium batteries (RSBs). The nanocomposite electrode exhibits the large capacity of 355 mAh g-1, which is consistent with the 4 mol Na+ storage per formula unit determined by first-principles calculation. Its average operation voltage is approximately 2.4 V (vs Na+/Na). Even at 1800 mA g-1, a capacity of 223 mAh g-1 is maintained. Moreover, the composite electrode exhibits acceptable capacity retention of over 75% of the initial capacity for 300 cycles at 360 mA g-1. The overall conversion reaction mechanism on the Cu2P2O7/carbon-nanotube nanocomposite is determined to be Cu2P2O7 + 4Na+ + 4e- → 2Cu + Na4P2O7 based on operando/ex situ structural and physicochemical analyses. The high energy density of the Cu2P2O7/carbon-nanotube nanocomposite (720 Wh kg-1) supported by this conversion chemistry indicates a high possibility of application of this material as a promising cathode candidate for RSBs.

Abstract
As lithium-ion batteries continue to climb to even higher energy density, they meanwhile cause serious concerns on their stability and reliability during operation. To make sure the electrode materials, particularly cathode materials, are stable upon extended cycles, surface modification becomes indispensable to minimize the undesirable side reaction at the electrolyte-cathode interface, which is known as a critical factor to jeopardizing the electrode performance. This Review is targeted at a precise surface control of cathode materials with focus on the synthetic strategies suitable for a maximized surface protection ensured by a uniform and conformal surface coating. Detailed discussions are taken on the formation mechanism of the designated surface species achieved by either wet-chemistry routes or instrumental ones, with attention to the optimized electrochemical performance as a result of the surface control, accordingly drawing a clear image to describe the synthesis-structure-performance relationship to facilitate further understanding of functional electrode materials. Finally, perspectives regarding the most promising and/or most urgent developments for the surface control of high-energy cathode materials are provided.

Abstract
Iron fluoride is a kind of high-capacity conversion-type cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and shows attractive practical application potential. However, it still faces many challenges, such as poor electronic conductivity and volume change while cycling. Reducing particle size to nanoscale has been proved to be an effective way to address the poor electronic conductivity and huge volume change of iron fluoride cathodes for LIBs. In this study, a low temperature nanotailoring (LTNT) strategy is proposed to realize the conversion of microsized FeF3·3H2O to nanosized FeF3·0.33H2O by one-step treating with the assistance of alcohols. Meanwhile, the particle size and morphology of iron fluorides can be controlled by regulating the processing conditions. When evaluated as a cathode material for LIBs, the as-prepared bare FeF3·0.33H2O shows a high capacity of 190 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles with excellent rate capability. This LTNT method is applicable to hydrates and even can be extended to easily hydrated compounds.

MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12060842. [PMID: 30871139 PMCID: PMC6471634 DOI: 10.3390/ma12060842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2019] [Revised: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
In this work, we investigated three types of graphene (i.e., home-made G, G V4, and G V20) with different size and morphology, as additives to a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode for the lithium-ion battery. Both the LFP and the two types of graphene (G V4 and G V20) were sourced from industrial, large-volume manufacturers, enabling cathode production at low cost. The use of wrinkled and/or large pieces of a graphene matrix shows promising electrochemical performance when used as an additive to the LFP, which indicates that the features of large and curved graphene pieces enable construction of a more effective conducting network to realize the full potential of the active materials. Specifically, compared to pristine LFP, the LFP/G, LFP/G V20, and LFP/G V4 show up to a 9.2%, 6.9%, and 4.6% increase, respectively, in a capacity at 1 C. Furthermore, the LFP combined with graphene exhibits a better rate performance than tested with two different charge/discharge modes. Moreover, from the economic and electrochemical performance view point, we also demonstrated that 1% of graphene content is optimized no matter the capacity calculated, based on the LFP/graphene composite or pure LFP.
