As a crucial anode material, Graphite enhances performance with significant economic and environmental benefits. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in the modification techniques for graphite materials utilized in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.
Graphite’s use in batteries primarily revolves around two types: lithium-ion batteries and zinc-carbon batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the reigning champions of portable energy storage, fueling everything from smartphones to electric vehicles (EVs).
And as the capacity of graphite electrode will approach its theoretical upper limit, the research scope of developing suitable negative electrode materials for next-generation of low-cost, fast-charging, high energy density lithium-ion batteries is expected to continue to expand in the coming years.
Practical challenges and future directions in graphite anode summarized. Graphite has been a near-perfect and indisputable anode material in lithium-ion batteries, due to its high energy density, low embedded lithium potential, good stability, wide availability and cost-effectiveness.
As the world races towards a more sustainable future, the demand for graphite in lithium-ion batteries is poised to skyrocket. While lithium-ion batteries dominate the EV and electronics sectors, zinc-carbon batteries continue to serve as the workhorse in many everyday devices like remote controls and flashlights.
