Carbon Nanomaterials with Different Dimensions for Anode of Li-Ion Batteries

Abstract:

In this article, the structure and morphology of the carbon anode materials with different dimensions have been characterized through SEM and TEM. The performances of electrochemical intercalation and deintercalation of lithium-ions have been studied. The results show that graphene as the two dimensional nanomaterials possess more advantages of microstructure and better Li-ions intercalation performances than carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphite. The superior abilities of Li-ions intercalation and deintercalation are attributed to increasing lithium storage space, decreasing Li diffusion distance, and higher specific surface area for Li-ions.
