Graphene foam as an anode for high-rate Li-ion batteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
A foam-like graphene material can be prepared by freeze drying and thermal reduction of graphene oxide suspensions. The graphene foam has a much higher capacity then conventional graphite anode, and it possesses better rate capability comparing with powderlike graphene active materials reported previously. The influence of the annealing temperature on the charge-discharge performance of graphene foam has been investigated.

متن کاملHigh quality graphitized graphene as an anode material for lithium ion batteries.
High quality graphitized graphene has been successfully synthesized by solid-exfoliation of graphite and a subsequent wet chemical process. The as-obtained graphene exhibits charge-discharge behaviour quite different from that of reduced graphene oxide and shows enhanced cycling and rate performance compared with commercial mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) for lithium ion batteries.
