Graphene improves electron conductivity of lithium ion battery cathode materials. Graphene nanosheets form an electron conducting network within the cathode. Graphene composite cathodes have superior rate capability and cyclability. Graphene is a relatively new and promising material, displaying a unique array of physical and chemical properties.
In 2018, more than 25% of lithium battery publications were related to graphene. Using graphene has benefits in advancing battery material performance. In industry, the mainstream applications of lithium-ion batteries gradually shifted from cell phones and portable consumer electronics to transportation and grid storage applications.
Emerging consumer electronics and electric vehicle technologies require advanced battery systems to enhance their portability and driving range, respectively. Therefore, graphene seems to be a great candidate material for application in high-energy-density/high-power-density batteries.
Conclusions Graphene forms a 3D electron conducting network in lithium ion battery cathode materials when mixed properly. This increases electron conductivity and therefore rate capability and cyclability of the materials. However, when mixed improperly or used in excessive amounts, it can sometimes impede lithium ion migration.
Graphene batteries have the potential to store more energy in a smaller space. This means they can power devices for longer periods without increasing their size or weight. This could be a breakthrough for the consumer electronics industry, where compact size and long battery life are always in demand. 4. Environmentally Friendly
