Review on carbonaceous materials and metal composites in deformable electrodes for flexible lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

With the rapid propagation of flexible electronic devices, flexible lithium-ion batteries are emerging as the most promising energy supplier among all of the energy storage devices due to high energy and power densities with good cycling stability.

Recent progress in quantum dots based nanocomposite electrodes for rechargeable monovalent metal-ion and lithium metal batteries

“…Modifying the micro/nano-structure active materials with conductive carbon with strong interaction between them has been a widely practiced strategy to improve the electronic conductivity and structural durability of composite electrodes. 6,32,121 However, engineered carbon with controlled size (<10 nm) has added advantages compared to its larger counterpart in terms of controlling the uniform coating without agglomeration and modifying the interfacial chemistry. By definition, they can be divided into three categories: (i) carbon (nano) dots or CDs which are amorphous with no quantum confinement, (ii) CQDs which are crystalline, have quantum confinement and spherical, and (iii) GQDs which are crystalline, two dimensional with quantum confinement.…”

Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Physicochemical Properties and Electrochemical Performance of FeVO4 as an Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…Graphite and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO), intercalation/de-intercalation materials providing a long cycle life with specific capacities of 378 mAhg −1 and 175 mAhg −1 , justify the need for an anode material for commercial lithium-ion batteries [ 2 , 3 ]. These materials have problems with Li dendrites formation, internal short circuits, low theoretical specific capacities, and poor electronic conductivity of LTO, and research to overcome these challenges is still in progress [ 4 , 5 ]. Conversion materials are a better choice of anode material because of their high theoretical specific capacity (>600 mAhg −1 ), safety, environmental sociability, and low cost [ 6 ].…”

Sorption based easy-to-use low-cost filters derived from invasive weed biomass for dye contaminated water cleanup

“…Carbon nanostructures with unique physical and chemical properties have been widely studied due to their potential use in various applications like in water purification, 1 energy storage 2 and conversion devices. 3 Lately, the synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials identified to comprise different low-dimension allotropes of carbon has been the fast-growing area of research.…”
