Role of graphene-based nanocomposites as anode material for Lithium-ion batteries

The growing demands for electric vehicles, as well as progression in charging technology, are epochal factors in the development of next-generation Lithium-ion batteries. The electrode of LIBs determines the battery’s performance, longevity, capacity and cycle stability. To improve the electrochemical performance of LIBs, new types of electrode materials must be developed. One of the most important factors in the electrochemical performance of LIBs is anode components. However, the graphite anode now in use is insufficient to meet the ever-increasing demands of modern technology due to material volume expansion. Consequently, developing a new type of alternate anode material to improve the electrochemical performance of LIBs is critical. As a result, combining several active materials with graphene, the electrochemical performance of LIBs was found to be improved. When evaluated as an anode material for LIBs, graphene-based composite showed excellent capacity as well as strong cycle stability.
