“…Meanwhile, returning from 5 and 0.25 A/g, the BMW anode shows a capacity value closed to 800 mA h/g, which demonstrates very good reversibility. Tie et al [56] synthesized a Si@SiO@GNS (graphene nanosheets) composite through ball milling of Si nanoparticles and expanded graphite at 500 rpm for 15 h. Their composite showed capacity values of 1400, 700, and 400 mA h/g at 0.2, 1, and 2 A/g, respectively. On the other hand, in a recent work of Zhao et al [57], porous silicon@carbon composites were obtained through ball milling at 200 rpm for 2 h, among other polymerization and sulfur-melting processes.…”

Silicon-based anodes are extensively studied as an alternative to graphite for lithium ion batteries. However, silicon particles suffer larges changes in their volume (about 280%) during cycling, which lead to particles cracking and breakage of the solid electrolyte interphase. This process induces continuous irreversible electrolyte decomposition that strongly reduces the battery life. In this research work, different silicon@graphite anodes have been prepared through a facile and scalable ball milling synthesis and have been tested in lithium batteries. The morphology and structure of the different samples have been studied using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. We show how the incorporation of an organic solvent in the synthesis procedure prevents particles agglomeration and leads to a suitable distribution of particles and intimate contact between them. Moreover, the importance of the microstructure of the obtained silicon@graphite electrodes is pointed out. The silicon@graphite anode resulted from the wet ball milling route, which presents capacity values of 850 mA h/g and excellent capacity retention at high current density (≈800 mA h/g at 5 A/g).

“…As illustrated by Tie et al [47], in the ball milling preparation of Si@SiO x /graphene heterogeneous anode material (Figure 2), the graphene nanosheets (GNS) could be exfoliated from the expanded graphite (EG) due to the accumulated mechanical shearing force of the agate balls, and the particle size of silicon could be reduced to 50-100 nm, which contributed to the uniform dispersion of Si nanoparticles on the GNS, and finally gave rise to the Si@SiO x /graphene composite. Owing to the reduced Si nanoparticle size, the SiO x adhesion layer as well as the synergistic Performance data of anode materials for SIB, reproduced with permission [19].…”

“…As a low-temperature alloying method, ball-milling is highly efficient in preparing the alloys and composites [41][42][43][44][45][46]. As for the graphene based heterogeneous electrode materials, ball milling exhibited the advantages in the size/ layer reduction [47], interface-contact enhancement [48,49] as well as the low cost and time saving [50].…”

As an intriguing two dimensional material, graphene has attracted intense interest due to its high stability, large carrier mobility as well as the excellent conductivity. The addition of graphene into the heterogeneous electrodes has been proved to be an effective method to improve the energy storage performance. In this chapter, the latest graphene based heterogeneous electrodes will be fully reviewed and discussed for energy storage. In detail, the assembly methods, including the ball-milling, hydrothermal, electrospinning, and microwave-assisted approaches will be illustrated. The characterization techniques, including the x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy will also be presented.

“…Currently, some energy storage and conversion devices such as lithium ion battery (LIB), sodium ion battery, fuel cell, and supercapacitor attracted much attention, among which LIB has rapidly captured the market of the portable devices and the electric vehicles due to the long cycle life span and environmental friendliness since its commercialization in 1990s (Li et al, , 2015Luo et al, 2015;Dai et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2016a;Tie et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2018). As we know, it is the application of carbon-based anode that achieved such a huge success of LIB due to low cost, good electrical conductivity, stable physicochemical property.…”

As one of the common life garbages, about 4.5 trillion waste cigarette butts are produced and randomly discarded every year due to the addiction to the nicotine and the need of the social intercourse. Such a treatment would result in the waste of the resources and the environmental pollution if they weren't reasonably recycled in time. Herein, the waste cigarette butts were recycled in form of N-doped carbon powders with high economic value-added via one-step facile carbonization at 800 • C for 2 h in the inert N 2 atmosphere. The waste-cigarette-butts-derived black carbon powders were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption/desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, the corresponding electrochemical performances as the anode in lithium ion battery (LIB) were also investigated by galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and alternating current (AC) impedance. The results suggested that the recycled N-doped waste cigarette butts carbon (WCBC) powders consisted of major carbon and minor residual N-containing and O-containing functional groups, and the corresponding specific surface area was about 1,285 m 2 •g −1. Furthermore, the reversible specific discharge capacity was about 528 mAh•g −1 for 100 cycles at 25 mA•g −1 and about 151 mAh•g −1 even at 2,000 mA•g −1 for 2,500 cycles. Additionally, full cell performances were also satisfactory, indicating high feasibility. N-doping effect (such as additional active sites and higher electronic conductivity) and the residual O-containing functional groups may be responsible for the satisfactory electrochemical performances, which offered good inspiration and strategy to develop the green energy and circular economy.
