Anode Materials Based on Graphene for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

Abstract. Despite modern technological advances, the creation of powerful, energy-intensive and environmentally friendly energy storage devices is an actual problem. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which have a high density of stored energy and low self-discharge, are the priority in the list of advanced energy storage devices. Performance of LIB depends on the composition and structure of the materials used to create the cathodes and anodes. Recently, among the new materials focusing on graphene combines a number of unique properties of the defining prospects use as electrode materials. This review summarizes the modern main achievements of the period from 2013 by 2015 in the area of graphene application and composite materials on its basis, as materials for the LIB electrodes.
