“…Among various carbon materials, graphene with excellent conductivity, good chemical stability, and large surface area has been widely studied in lithium ion batteries to improve the electronic conductivity and cycling stability of the composite electrodes [4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In addition, graphene is an effective nanoscale block for preparation of composite materials with metal oxide or metal sulfur nanoparticles.…”

N-doped graphene/SnS composite as highperformance anode materials has been synthesized by a simultaneous solvothermal method using ethylene glycol as solvent. The morphology, structure, and electrochemical performance of N-doped graphene/SnS composite were investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical measurements. The SnS nanoparticles with sizes of 3-5 nm uniformly distribute on the N-doped graphene matrix. The N-doped graphene/SnS composite exhibits a relatively high reversible capacity and good cycling stability as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. The good electrochemical performance can be due to that the N-doped graphene as electron conductor improves the electronic conductivity of composite and elastic matrix accommodates the large volume changes of SnS during the cycles.

“…However, despite some clever approaches to stabilize the structure of the active material (e.g., freeze-drying, [ 206 ] crumpling, [ 207 ] spin coating [ 209 ] or nanocabling [ 211 ] ), only few cases reported a successful minimization of the 1 st cycle irreversible capacity and improved delithiation voltage. [ 220,226 ] In 2013, new types of hybrids, such as graphene-containing metal sulfi des, [229][230][231][232][233][234][235][236] intermetallic compounds, [237][238][239] metallic stannate, [ 240,241 ] -germanate, [ 242,243 ] -tungstate, [ 244,245 ] -oxides, [ 246,247 ] germanium oxide, [ 248 ] lithium vanadate, [ 249 ] manganese ferrite [ 250 ] and cobalt carbonate [ 251 ] were introduced. They generally showed an increased specifi c gravimetric capacity but, except for a few cases, [ 229,234,237,247 ] the 1 st cycle irreversibility was always higher than 30%.…”

that its extraordinary properties would enable revolutionary new technologies, which gave birth to the "graphene era". [ 3,4 ] Relying on this scenario, in 2013, the European Union launched the ¤1 billion "Graphene Flagship" project aimed to investigate the properties of this new form of carbon for various applications (e.g., electronics, sensors and energy storage devices), with the ambitious goal of guiding graphene from laboratories to commercial applications within a decade. [ 5,6 ] In the same period, the Chinese Government set up a similar investment to mass-produce graphene as thin fi lms (e.g., for touchscreen electrodes) and platelets (e.g., for use in batteries). [ 6 ] In the following years, hundreds of patents, mainly focused on manufacturing and application in energy storage, were fi led and the worldwide production of graphene and graphene-containing materials rapidly increased. Although a few Chinese industries claimed to already use graphene-containing materials for smartphone production, no revolutionary practical application relying on graphene has been yet developed. [ 6 ] Specifi cally with respect to the battery fi eld, a close analysis of the scientifi c literature reveals a struggle to meet the ambitious initial targets. A potential loss of focus from the fi nal application caused by hype and ease of publication on such a novel matter, together with the delivery of very misleading information [ 7,8 ] and erroneous statements [ 7 ] concerning the use of graphene in batteries are emerging as possible reasons of the ineffective graphene-era outburst. In this progress report, we do not focus on production and classifi cation of graphene and graphene-containing materials, which were already well reported in the past years. [ 3,[9][10][11] In contrast, due to the lack of an exhaustive analysis of the progression of the use of such materials in lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes, we report here a critical evaluation of the most prominent research papers published from 2008 until the end of 2015. As shown in Figure 1 , three different stages of the graphene research in LIB anodes can be distinguished: a fi rst stationary phase between 2008 and 2010 where the lithium-ion storage properties of different graphene and graphene-containing materials were preliminarily explored, a second exponential stage, spanning from 2010 to 2014, where graphene and graphene-containing anode materials were broadly developed and investigated, and fi nally, a third phase, (i.e., starting from 2015), where the research seems to have approached a plateau. After Used as a bare active material or component in hybrids, graphene has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. Indeed, from the fi rst report that appeared in late July 2008, almost 1600 papers were published as of the end 2015 that investigated the properties of graphene as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Although an impressive amount of data has been collected, a real advance in the fi eld still seems to be missing. In this framework, atten...

“…Fei et al proposed a facile direct-precipitation approach to obtain a FeS-based anode [78]. The FeS@RGO nanocomposite with robust sheet-wrapped structure exhibits better electrochemical performance than isolated FeS nanoparticles because of the smaller particle sizes and the synergetic effects between FeS and RGO sheets, i.e., increased conductivity, shortened lithium ion diffusion path, and effective prevention of polysulfide dissolution.…”

The increasing depletion of fossil fuel inspires the demand for renewable energy and energy-efficient devices. GO-based materials emerge in applications of energy storage and conversion with superior advantages. Especially, the composition of GO with specified materials not only retains the inherent characteristics of GO but also induces various characters for improving the performance in energy conversion and storage. Due to the large surface area and ample oxygen containing functional groups, GO can bind many active materials or catalysts for hydrogen storage and generation. Moreover, the functional groups enable GO to further couple with other species and thus form various porous or hierarchical architectures as electrodes, electrolyte or current collector in the lithium batteries and supercapacitors.
