Abstract
Graphene has long been recognized as a potential anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The past decade has witnessed the rapid advancement of graphene anodes, and considerable breakthroughs are achieved so far. In this review, the aim is to provide a research roadmap of graphene anodes toward practical LIBs. The Li storage mechanism of graphene is started with and then the approaches to improve its electrochemical performance are comprehensively summarized. First, morphologically engineered graphene anodes with porous, spheric, ribboned, defective and holey structures display improved capacity and rate performance owing to their highly accessible surface area, interconnected diffusion channels, and sufficient active sites. Surface-modified graphene anodes with less aggregation, fast electrons/ions transportation, and optimal solid electrolyte interphase are discussed, demonstrating the close connection between the surface structure and electrochemical activity of graphene. Second, graphene derivatives anodes prepared by heteroatom doping and covalent functionalization are outlined, which show great advantages in boosting the Li storage performances because of the additionally introduced defect/active sites for further Li accommodation. Furthermore, binder-free and free-standing graphene electrodes are presented, exhibiting great prospects for high-energy-density and flexible LIBs. Finally, the remaining challenges and future opportunities of practically available graphene anodes for advanced LIBs are highlighted.

Abstract
As an integral part of a lithium-ion battery, carbonaceous conductive agents have an important impact on the performance of the battery. Carbon sources (e.g., granular Super-P and KS-15, linear carbon nanotube, layered graphene) with different morphologies were added into the battery as conductive agents, and the effects of their morphologies on the electrochemical performance and processability of spherical lithium iron phosphate were investigated. The results show that the linear carbon nanotube and layered graphene enable conductive agents to efficiently connect to the cathode materials, which contribute to improving the stability of the electrode-slurry and reducing the internal resistance of cells. The batteries using nanotubes and graphene as conductive agents showed weaker battery internal resistance, excellent electrochemical performance and low-temperature dischargeability. The battery using carbon nanotube as the conductive agent had the best overall performance with an internal resistance of 30 mΩ. The battery using a carbon nanotube as the conductive agent exhibited better low-temperature performance, whose discharge capacity at -20 °C can reach 343 mAh, corresponding to 65.0% of that at 25 °C.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2018; 14:e1702054.

Abstract
An approach to assemble hierarchically ordered 3D arrangements of curved graphenic nanofragments for energy storage devices is described. Assembling them into well-defined interconnected macroporous networks, followed by removal of the template, results in spherical macroporous, mesoporous, and microporous carbon microball (3MCM) architectures with controllable features spanning nanometer to micrometer length scales. These structures are ideal porous electrodes and can serve as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes as well as capacitive deionization (CDI) devices. The LIBs exhibit high reversible capacity (up to 1335 mAh g-1 ), with great rate capability (248 mAh g-1 at 20 C) and a long cycle life (60 cycles). For CDI, the curved graphenic networks have superior electrosorption capacity (i.e., 5.17 mg g-1 in 0.5 × 10-3 m NaCl) over conventional carbon materials. The performance of these materials is attributed to the hierarchical structure of the graphenic electrode, which enables faster ion diffusion and low transport resistance.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2017; 29:1603421. [PMID: 28032920 DOI: 10.1002/adma.201603421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2016] [Revised: 08/11/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Used as a bare active material or component in hybrids, graphene has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. Indeed, from the first report that appeared in late July 2008, almost 1600 papers were published as of the end 2015 that investigated the properties of graphene as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Although an impressive amount of data has been collected, a real advance in the field still seems to be missing. In this framework, attention is focused on the most prominent research efforts in this field with the aim of identifying the causes of such relentless progression through an insightful and critical evaluation of the lithium-ion storage performances (i.e., 1st cycle irreversible capacity, specific gravimetric and volumetric capacities, average delithiation voltage profile, rate capability and stability upon cycling). The "graphene fever" has certainly provided a number of fundamental studies unveiling the electrochemical properties of this "wonder" material. However, analysis of the published literature also highlights a loss of focus from the final application. Hype-driven claims, not fully appropriate metrics, and negligence of key parameters are probably some of the factors still hindering the application of graphene in commercial batteries.
