Two major approaches are employed to improve the electrochemical performance of graphite anodes and they include accelerating lithium-ion diffusion and enhancing interfacial reaction between graphite and the liquid electrolyte to form a thin yet stable SEI layer. Multi-channel graphite has been seen to improve the entry of lithium ions into the graphite structure. This is particularly useful for enabling fast charging of LiBs. They also show enhanced discharge rate capability. Expandable graphite has been developed to increase inter-layer spacing and it shows very high reversible capacity and rate capability. Surface modifications of the graphite anode by modifying Al2O3 on the surface have been seen to improve fast charging ability . Non-graphitised carbon is another intercalation material that has been studied due to its higher layer spacing . However, it suffers from issues like voltage hysteresis and high initial irreversible capacity , . Other carbon-based materials like graphene , , nanofibers , , and nanotubes , , are also being explored as potential materials for LIB anodes.
