Graphene in lithium ion battery cathode materials
Ab s t r a c t
Graphene is a relatively new and promising material, displaying a unique array of physical and chemical
properties. Although considered to be especially promising for the use in energy storage applications,
graphene has only recently been implemented as an electron conducting additive for lithium ion battery
cathode materials. In current studies graphene is found to significantly improve cathode electrochemical
performance. As the charge capacity, rate capability and cyclability of lithium ion batteries are still in
ever-remaining need of improvement, this article examines the prospects of graphene implementation
into lithium ion battery cathodes to meet such demands. The existing literature and recent advances on
the topic have been reviewed, covering the preparation of graphene and graphene composite lithium ion
battery cathodes, their structure and electrochemical properties along with underlying principles for
electrochemical performance enhancement of such materials.![]()
