Lithium-ion battery is the commonly used energy storage technology in electric vehicles (EVs) because of its inexpensive manufacturing
The energy storage mechanism, i.e. the lithium storage mechanism, of graphite anode involves the intercalation and de-intercalation of Li ions, forming a series of graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). Extensive efforts have been engaged in the mechanism investigation and performance enhancement of Li-GIC in the past three decades.
However, to obtain graphite electrodes with higher performance, it is essential to deeply understand the fundamentals of graphite and Li-graphite intercalation compounds (GICs), especially their crystal and electronic structures, and thus to regulate the structure to boost the kinetics of Li ion intercalation, storage, and diffusion in graphite.
Graphite can be used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. With synthetic graphite as an anode material, we make an important contribution to the higher performance of lithium-ion batteries. Our battery felts and bipolar plates in stationary energy storage devices (so-called redox flow batteries) enable efficient charging and discharging.
The deeper understanding of material function gained from these innovative approaches may hold the key for the rational design of next-generation graphite-based or -inspired electrodes. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Graphite remains the dominant anode material in commercial lithium-ion batteries.
Graphite is a perfect anode and has dominated the anode materials since the birth of lithium ion batteries, benefiting from its incomparable balance of relatively low cost, abundance, high energy density, power density, and very long cycle life.
Despite extensive research efforts dedicated to discovering and developing alternative anode material candidates, no commercially viable successor has so-far been identified. Simultaneously, the understanding of graphite electrode function is continuously expanding, and new strategies for rationally improving performance are being explored.
