Carbon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Robust Synthesis of Hydrophobic Biosorbent for Effective Oil/Organic Solvent Cleanup

“…The comparative oil absorption performance of ABs@Sponge with other reported materials is shown in Table S3. In organic solvent absorption test, we observed ABs@Sponge sponge absorb 33, 41, 47, and 62 g/g of hexane, xylene, dichloromethane, and chloroform, respectively (Video S2) [19,25] . The oil and Organic solvent absorption capacity of ABs@Sponge is summarized in Figure 5.…”

“…The FTIR spectra of ABs material (Figure 1a) show that the peak at 3620 cm −1 corresponds to the presence of −N−H or −OH functionality [25] . The peak at 2930 cm −1 corresponds to SP 2 hybridized −C−H functionality [19] . The peak peaks at 1670 and 1402 cm −1 correspond to the presence of −C=C and −N−H functionality, respectively [25] .…”

“…Along with membrane, various researchers prepared graphene‐based nanocomposite material of oil and organic solvent to clean up. To date, researchers have prepared lignocellulosic graphene composite [18] prepared waste tea powder‐derived graphene nanocomposite, [19] prepared graphene aerogel, [20] prepared reduced free‐standing graphene oxide foam functionalized with magnetic nanoparticle, [21] prepared rGO modified melamine formaldehyde sponge, [22] Fe 3 O 4 decorated 3D Graphene aerogel, [23] prepared cellulose nanofibers/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene oxide based super hydrophobic carbon aerogel [24] for the application of removal of oil and wastewater treatment. The mentioned literature revealed that the authors constantly use graphene‐based nanocomposite material for oil‐water separation.…”

Durability of S- and N-doped graphene nanoplatelets for electrode performance in solid-state batteries

“…4 Furthermore, the use of carbon-based materials is not new in Li-ion batteries. The first use of a carbon-based material occurred in 1985 in Japan 5 when graphite was used as an anode in Li-ion batteries. Its use as an anode in Li-ion batteries was attributed to its incomparable balance of cost, power density, abundance, high energy density (high capacity with low de-/lithiation potential), low volume expansion, high stability, long cycle life, low potential difference between carbon and Li, and excellent electronic and ionic conductivity.…”

However, mainly graphite, CNTs, and graphene have been used in Li-ion batteries.…”
