Research Progress of Cathode Materials for Graphene-based Fuel Cells

Abstract

Graphite is the most widely used cathode material for commercial lithium-ion batteries at present, and the increasing market demand puts forward higher requirements for lithium storage performance of graphite cathode materials. Graphene is a kind of cathode material with great development potential, and its lithium storage performance is influenced by many factors such as structural characteristics, oxygen-containing functional groups and impurity atoms, which leads to complex lithium storage behavior and mechanism. When the polymer with lithium storage activity is compounded with graphene as cathode material, the lithium storage performance is affected by the reversibility of polymer redox and the composite structure. In this article, the working principle of Li-lon and the lithium intercalation mechanism of graphite are introduced, and the research status and progress of graphite cathode materials in surface modification and structural regulation in recent years are emphatically reviewed.
