Abstract
Graphene has long been recognized as a potential anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The past decade has witnessed the rapid advancement of graphene anodes, and considerable breakthroughs are achieved so far. In this review, the aim is to provide a research roadmap of graphene anodes toward practical LIBs. The Li storage mechanism of graphene is started with and then the approaches to improve its electrochemical performance are comprehensively summarized. First, morphologically engineered graphene anodes with porous, spheric, ribboned, defective and holey structures display improved capacity and rate performance owing to their highly accessible surface area, interconnected diffusion channels, and sufficient active sites. Surface-modified graphene anodes with less aggregation, fast electrons/ions transportation, and optimal solid electrolyte interphase are discussed, demonstrating the close connection between the surface structure and electrochemical activity of graphene. Second, graphene derivatives anodes prepared by heteroatom doping and covalent functionalization are outlined, which show great advantages in boosting the Li storage performances because of the additionally introduced defect/active sites for further Li accommodation. Furthermore, binder-free and free-standing graphene electrodes are presented, exhibiting great prospects for high-energy-density and flexible LIBs. Finally, the remaining challenges and future opportunities of practically available graphene anodes for advanced LIBs are highlighted.

Abstract
Owing to its novel properties, such as high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area, graphene has been found as suitable support material for the electrocatalyst design. This work reports the preparation of platinum-nickel alloy nanoparticles (PtNi NPs) electrocatalyst by electrodeposition of PtNi NPs onto graphene support. The obtained PtNi/graphene electrocatalysts were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray microscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicating the controllable morphological and compositional profiles of PtNi NPs on graphene. The electrocatalytic characteristics of PtNi/graphene toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were systematically investigated showing comparable kinetic performance. Moreover, the graphene during electrodeposition process induces carbon vacancies and defects, increasing interaction between nanoparticles and graphene and enhancing electrocatalytic stability by limiting aggregation of the nanoparticles during accelerated stability test. This work opens a promising path for the preparation of graphene-supported alloy electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Despite high-surface area carbons, e.g., graphene-based materials, being investigated as anodes for lithium (Li)-ion batteries, the fundamental mechanism of Li-ion storage on such carbons is insufficiently understood. In this work, the evolution of the electrode/electrolyte interface is probed on a single-layer graphene (SLG) film by performing Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy when the SLG film is electrochemically cycled as the anode in a half cell. The utilization of SLG eliminates the inevitable intercalation of Li ions in graphite or few-layer graphene, which may have complicated the discussion in previous work. Combining the in situ studies with ex situ observations and ab initio simulations, the formation of solid electrolyte interphase and the structural evolution of SLG are discussed when the SLG is biased in an electrolyte. This study provides new insights into the understanding of Li-ion storage on SLG and suggests how high-surface-area carbons could play proper roles in anodes for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Recently, MXene/graphene heterostructures have been successfully fabricated and found to exhibit outstanding performance as electrodes for Li-ion batteries. However, insights into the mechanism behind the encouraging experimental results are missing. We use first-principles calculations to systematically investigate the electrochemical properties of MXene/graphene heterostructures, choosing Ti2CX2 (X = F, O, and OH) as representative MXenes. Our calculations disclose that the presence of graphene not only avoids restacking effects of MXene layers but also enhances the electric conductivity, Li adsorption strength (while maintaining a high Li mobility), and mechanical stiffness. These favorable attributes collectively lead to the excellent performance of MXene/graphene electrodes observed experimentally. While the Ti2CO2/graphene heterostructure is proposed to be the most promising candidate within the studied materials, the developed comprehensive understanding is of significance also for the future rational design of MXene-based electrodes.

Abstract
Graphene coating is receiving discernable attention to overcome the significant challenges associated with large volume changes and poor conductivity of silicon nanoparticles as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. In this work, a tremella-like nanostructure of silicon@void@graphene-like nanosheets (Si@void@G) composite was successfully synthesized and employed as a high-performance anode material with high capacity, cycling stability, and rate capacity. The Si nanoparticles were first coated with a sacrificial SiO2 layer; then, the nitrogen-doped (N-doped) graphene-like nanosheets were formed on the surface of Si@SiO2 through a one-step carbon-thermal method, and the SiO2 layer was removed subsequently to obtain the Si@void@G composite. The performance improvement is mainly attributed to the good conductivity of N-doped graphene-like nanosheets and the unique design of tremella nanostructure, which provides a void space to allow for the Si nanoparticles expanding upon lithiation. The resulting electrode delivers a capacity of 1497.3 mAh g(-1) at the current density of 0.2 A g(-1) after 100 cycles.

Abstract
Specific capacity and cyclic performance are critically important for the electrode materials of rechargeable batteries. Herein, a capacity boost effect of Li- and Na-ion batteries was presented and clarified by nitrogen-doped graphene sheets. The reversible capacities progressively increased from 637.4 to 1050.4 mAh g-1 (164.8% increase) in Li-ion cell tests from 20 to 185 cycles, and from 187.3 to 247.5 mAh g-1 (132.1% increase) in Na-ion cell tests from 50 to 500 cycles. The mechanism of the capacity boost is proposed as an electrochemical induced cascading evolution of graphitic N to pyridinic and/or pyrrolic N, during which only these graphitic N adjacent pyridinic or pyrrolic structures can be taken precedence. The original and new generated pyridinic and pyrrolic N have strengthened binding energies to Li/Na atoms, thus increased the Li/Na coverage and delivered a progressive capacity boost with cycles until the entire favorable graphitic N transform into pyridinic and pyrrolic N.

Abstract
A maximum sodium capacity of ∼35 mAh/g has hampered the use of crystalline carbon nanostructures for sodium ion battery anodes. We demonstrate that a diglyme solvent shell encapsulating a sodium ion acts as a "nonstick" coating to facilitate rapid ion insertion into crystalline few-layer graphene and bypass slow desolvation kinetics. This yields storage capacities above 150 mAh/g, cycling performance with negligible capacity fade over 8000 cycles, and ∼100 mAh/g capacities maintained at currents of 30 A/g (∼12 s charge). Raman spectroscopy elucidates the ordered, but nondestructive cointercalation mechanism that differs from desolvated ion intercalation processes. In situ Raman measurements identify the Na(+) staging sequence and isolates Fermi energies for the first and second stage ternary intercalation compounds at ∼0.8 eV and ∼1.2 eV.
