Effect of Carbon-Based Composites in Fast-Charging Battery Technologies

Abstract

The need for electric vehicles and other portable devices globally, advancements in charging technologies, are inflection points in the evolution of upcoming batteries. The proper engineering of electrodes are essential for stability, lifetime and cyclability. Several materials have high theoretical capacity i.e Na, Al, Li are desirable for next generation fast charging batteries. However there are some drawbacks such as low columbic efficiency, dendrite growth and volume expansion restricting their practical applications. We organized many scheme and strategies for the engineering of these metal electrodes and electrolytes. The effect of many composite structure were found to improve the stability and cyclability. The carbon derivatives specially graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotube's, carbon fiber, graphite and their composites were studies and found to be the most suitable candidates for making the anode composite for better electrochemical performance of fast charging batteries.
