Graphite Intercalation Compounds (GICs): A New Type of Promising Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) for the first time are used as the anode material for lithium‐ion batteries. They exhibit high reversible capacity with excellent cycle life.

Highly stable and ultrafast electrode reaction of graphite for sodium ion batteries

“…The stage number n of GICs is usually identified by their identity period along the c-axis (i.e., I c) and their interplanar spacing (i.e. d s ) according to the relationship I c ¼ d s þ 0.335(n À 1), where the distance between two empty graphene sheets is presumed to be constant and equal to 0.335 nm [47]. The I c value is determined from the different angles q l for the (00l) diffraction reflexes according to Bragg's law: ll ¼ 2 I c sin q l [48].…”

FeCl3intercalated few-layer graphene for high lithium-ion storage performance

“…21,22 Stage 1 FeCl3-GICs are used as a promising precursor for the preparation of FeCl3-FLG by controlling the exfoliation extent of GICs and the content of retained FeCl3. Herein, short sonication time of 1 h is used to prepare FeCl3-FLG and its intercalation homogeneity with FeCl3 is examined with Raman spectroscopy.…”

1‐Aza‐15‐Crown‐5 Functionalized Graphene Oxide for 2D Graphene‐Based Li+‐ion Conductor

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] After the discovery of graphene, this fi eld of study gathered further momentum because of its potential application in the areas of Li-ion battery [11][12][13][14] and supercapacitors [ 15,16 ] due to large surface area and superior electronic properties of the materials concerned. Use of graphene as a negative electrode for battery application has been reported in the literature [ 17 ] but, its use as solid electrolyte in Li + -ion battery is relatively unexplored.…”
