“…138,139 Later, Rachid Yazami in 1983 demonstrated the simple but groundbreaking phenomenon of electrochemical intercalation of Li + -ions into graphite host from a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based dry polymer electrolyte (DPE), for which he is often considered as the inventor of graphite anode for LIBs. 135,140,141 Ultimately, Akira Yoshino from Asahi Kasei Corporation is credited as the inventor of the modern-day LIBs, as he engineered the first practical prototype that operates through a dual-intercalation mechanism in LEs followed by the commercialization in 1991. 142 Compared to 1 st generation LMBs (pLMBs and LE-LMBs), LIBs are safe and long-lasting despite their lower energy density, which is compromised due to the replacement of Li-metal with a graphite analog.…”

“…Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are leading electrochemical energy storage systems among secondary batteries due to their high energy density. Graphite, the most common material of the negative electrode, is widely used in LIBs production for several reasons: good cyclability, low cost, non-toxicity, low operating voltage [1]. Commercial graphitised materials demonstrate specific capacity near 360 mAh•g -1 [2], which is very close to the limiting value of the theoretical capacity of graphite, 372 mAh•g -1 .…”

A composite consisting of silicon nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Si/RGO) was studied as a promising material for the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries. Commonly used polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) served as a binder. To reveal the influence of the binder on the electrochemical behaviour of the Si/RGO composite, binder-free electrodes were also prepared and examined. Anode half-cells with composites comprising CMC as a binder demonstrated the best properties: capacity over 1200 mAh∙g-1, excellent cycling performance and good rate capability up to 1.0C.

“…Graphite has been widely used in various applications thanks to its theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g and low average working potential of ca. 0.2 V [ 36 ]. The kinetics during the electrochemical reaction are limited because lithium-ions can only be intercalated and deintercalated through the inter-basal planes in the anisotropic graphite microstructure.…”

Although lithium-ion batteries have already had a considerable impact on making our lives smarter, healthier, and cleaner by powering smartphones, wearable devices, and electric vehicles, demands for significant improvement in battery performance have grown with the continuous development of electronic devices. Developing novel anode materials offers one of the most promising routes to meet these demands and to resolve issues present in existing graphite anodes, such as a low theoretical capacity and poor rate capabilities. Significant improvements over current commercial batteries have been identified using the electrospinning process, owing to a simple processing technique and a wide variety of electrospinnable materials. It is important to understand previous work on nanofiber anode materials to establish strategies that encourage the implementation of current technological developments into commercial lithium-ion battery production, and to advance the design of novel nanofiber anode materials that will be used in the next-generation of batteries. This review identifies previous research into electrospun nanofiber anode materials based on the type of electrochemical reactions present and provides insights that can be used to improve conventional lithium-ion battery performances and to pioneer novel manufacturing routes that can successfully produce the next generation of batteries.
