In spite of an ongoing advancement, current popular EES systems including Li-ion batteries (LIBs), supercapacitors (SCs), and redox flow cells (RFCs) are limited by severe performance challenges of electrode materials in terms of low energy and power density as well as short durability. To mitigate the issues, carbon nanomaterials could be introduced to these EES systems, taking advantage of their unique geometry, excellent conductivity, large surface area, and intrinsic flexibility. Numerous carbon nanomaterial based EES systems, where carbon nanomaterials are adopted as either conducting additive or active electrode, have been developed and demonstrated appealing energy and power features. With the capability to enhance the structural and electrochemical properties of electrodes, carbon nanomaterials and their derivatives offer a wide range of possibilities to design advanced EES devices that can meet our growing energy and power demands in the future.A number of reviews have been published in the past few years on the application of carbon nanomaterials in EES. [5][6][7][8] However, this area is so active and new works accumulate very quickly. Therefore, it is helpful to update the new designs and outcomes. This progress report will summarize the most exciting recent (from the year 2010 onwards) advances in the application of carbon nanomaterials with different dimensions, i.e., 0D fullerene, 1D CNT, 2D graphene, and 3D assemblies of CNT and graphene, in EES systems, and highlight the new trends in the field. Besides the repetitively reviewed LIBs and SCs, this work will also deal with another important system, the RFC, which has been rejuvenated recently and is becoming increasingly vital for large scale energy storage. The recent EES applications of carbon nanomaterials will be discussed based on their dimensions. Structure and Properties of Various Nanostructured CarbonFullerenes, CNTs, and graphene all present conjugated π electron systems. The unique electronic configuration combined with geometric structure endows them with extraordinary properties, which make them superior to their competitors for specific applications such as EES. 0D FullerenesFullerene normally has a hollow sphere or ellipsoid shape. Specifically, C 60 has a cage-like fused-ring structure (truncated Carbon nanomaterials including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and their assemblies represent a unique type of materials in diverse formats and dimensions. They feature a large surface area, superior conductivity, fast charge transport, and intrinsic stability, which are essentially required for vari ous electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems such as Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and redox flow cells. The scaled-up and reliable production and assembly of carbon nanomaterials is a prerequisite for the development of carbon nanomaterial-based EES devices. In this progress report, the preparation of carbon nanostructures and the state-of-the-art applications of carbon nanomaterials with different dimensions in versatile EES...

Layered Li9V3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 has attracted considerable interest as a novel cathode material for potential use in rechargeable lithium batteries. The defect chemistry, doping behavior and lithium diffusion paths in Li9V3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 are investigated using atomistic scale simulations. Here we show that the activation energy for Li migration via the vacancy mechanism is 0.72 eV along the c-axis. Additionally, the most favourable intrinsic defect type is Li Frenkel (0.44 eV/defect) ensuring the formation of Li vacancies that are required for Li diffusion via the vacancy mechanism. The only other intrinsic defect mechanism that is close in energy is the formation of anti-site defect, in which Li and V ions exchange their positions (1.02 eV/defect) and this can play a role at higher temperatures. Considering the solution of tetravalent dopants it is calculated that they require considerable solution energies, however, the solution of GeO2 will reduce the activation energy of migration to 0.66 eV.

“…Conductive carbons, based on achieving a higher degree of graphite material, to prepare graphene or sensor materials, could be obtained from wood or crop straw via a thermo method, and has been attracting a great deal of attention due to their environmentally friendly properties (Pandolfo and Hollenkamp 2006;Wilson et al 2007;Liang et al 2015;Ni et al 2015;Naseem et al 2016;Ramesh 2016). The graphitizing process is the transformation from an amorphous and disordered layer structure of carbon materials into three-dimensional ordered graphite crystals.…”

Graphite production was achieved unexpectedly in the course of demonstrating a new ultrasonic-assisted wheat straw pulping method at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. The graphite material was found in the ultrasonic-assisted pulp (UP) ash, as shown by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and TEM analysis. UP ash contained both inorganic and organic components. The total content of inorganic components in the ash was 81.9%, while the content of organic component (graphite material) was 18.1%. The graphite content in the pulp was calculated to be approximately 4.5%. This work describes a new meaningful approach for the facile preparation of graphite materials. The graphitization was based on the ultrasonic cavitation mechanism of extreme condition, while the process would be divided into three steps, degradation of lignin, graphene formation, and graphitization process.
