all need to be used in conjugation with an energy storage system to provide smooth power leveling. Currently, electrochemical energy storage systems are by far the most optimal solutions for powering a broad range of technologies, expanding from compact and light-weighted portable electronic devices to stationary gridscale energy storage applications. [3][4][5][6] These energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors) store the available electrical energy in the form of chemical energy and release it whenever needed, by simply reversing the electrochemical reaction. [7][8][9][10][11] Among various available battery chemistries, lithium batteries and supercapacitors are the most promising technologies. [ 7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Ever since the realization of the fi rst electrochemical energy storage cell by Alessandro Volta (end of 17th century), the working principle and its function has changed very little. [ 21,22 ] Basically, two redox couples (or charge storage electrodes), electrically and physically separated, are bridged by an ion conducting medium to constitute an electrochemical cell. This holds true also for modern Li-ion batteries, although the chemistry involved is much more complex. During operation, the electrons are transferred through an external circuit while ions shuttle through the electrolyte to counterbalance the depleted charge at the electrodes. [ 23 ] So far, much of the effort has been directed towards improvement of the energy and power characteristics by downsizing the active components, re-engineering the current collectors and separators, as well as fi ne-tuning the Batteries have become fundamental building blocks for the mobility of modern society. Continuous development of novel battery chemistries and electrode materials has nourished progress in building better batteries. Simultaneously, novel device form factors and designs with multi-functional components have been proposed, requiring batteries to not only integrate seamlessly to these devices, but to also be a multi-functional component for a multitude of applications. Thus, in the past decade, along with developments in the component materials, the focus has been shifting more and more towards novel fabrication processes, unconventional confi gurations, and additional functionalities. This work attempts to critically review the developments with respect to emerging electrochemical energy storage confi gurations, including, amongst others, paintable, transparent, fl exible, wire or cable shaped, ultra-thin and ultra-thick confi gurations, as well as hybrid energy storage-conversion, or graphene-incorporated batteries and supercapacitors. The performance requirements are elaborated together with the advantages, but also the limitations, with respect to established electrochemical energy storage technologies. Finally, challenges in developing novel materials with tailored properties that would allow such confi gurations, and in designing easier manufacturing techniques that can be widely adopted ar...

In principle, FLG or restacked SLG could display graphite intercalation behavior given that the graphitic crystal structure is restored.…”

“…With the gradual consumption of petroleum energy, and the collateral environmental pollution, the development of new energy sources becomes increasingly important. Rechargeable lithium ion battery (LIB) is considered as one of the most potential energy storage products due to its excellent performances, such as high power density, high output voltage, long cycle life, memory‐free effect and low self‐discharge performance . LIB is mainly composed of cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator.…”

A new gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) based on chitosan‐lignocellulose composites with a smooth and porous structure for applications in lithium‐ion batteries was prepared. The obtained GPE matrix and GPE show excellent comprehensive performances. The GPE matrix based on the composite containing 15 % chitosan (denoted CSLC‐15) had the best performance, with liquid electrolyte uptake of up to 749.1 wt %. The ionic conductivity for corresponding GPE is 2.89 mS cm−1 at room temperature, and the lithium ion transference number is 0.90. The GPE proved promising for use in lithium‐ion batteries, offering a large electrochemical window (4.8 V) and excellent interfacial compatibility (a stable impedance value of 227.97 Ω after 30 days). Moreover, the GPE shows excellent thermal and mechanical properties, and high C‐rates capability (163.13 mAh g−1, 152.53 mAh g−1, 144.27 mAh g−1, 128.45 mAh g−1, 156.12 mAh g−1, at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1.0 C, 2.0 C, 0.2 C, respectively) and cycle performance (161.99 mAh g−1 at the 99th cycle of 0.2 C), which proved its suitability of use in lithium‐ion batteries.

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.
