Abstract
With the advent of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the selection and application of electrode materials have been the subject of much discussion and study. Among them, graphite has been widely investigated for use as electrode materials in LIBs due to its abundant resources, low cost, safety and electrochemical diversity. While it is commonly recognized that conventional graphite materials utilized for commercial purposes have a limited theoretical capacity, there has been a steady emergence of new and improved carbonaceous materials for use as anodes in light of the progressive development of LIBs. In this paper, the latest research progress of various carbon materials in LIBs is systematically and comprehensively reviewed. Firstly, the rocking chair charging and discharging mechanism of LIBs is briefly introduced in this paper, using graphite anodes as an example. After that, the general categories of carbonaceous materials are highlighted, and the recent research on the recent progress of various carbonaceous materials (graphite-based, amorphous carbon-based, and nanocarbon-based) used in LIB anodes is presented separately based on the classification of the structural morphology, emphasizing the influence of the morphology and structure of carbon-based materials on the electrochemical performance of the batteries. Finally, the current challenges of carbonaceous materials in LIB applications and the future development of other novel carbonaceous materials are envisioned.

Abstract
Among the next-generation energy storage technologies, lithium-sulfur batteries are considered one of the most appealing solutions owing to their remarkable theoretical capacity. However, to become commercially competitive, there is a strong need to address some issues still characterizing this technology. One of the explored strategies is the optimization of the electrolyte formulation. To this aim, we compared 1,3-dioxolane/1,2-dimethoxyethane-based electrolytes containing two lithium halides, i.e., lithium bromide (LiBr) and lithium iodide (LiI), with lithium bis (trifluoromethane)sulfonylimide (LiTFSI) as a reference electrolyte. The obtained results show how the donicity of the lithium-salt anions might affect the solid electrolyte interphase stability and the lithium sulfide deposition morphology, therefore influencing the electrochemical performance of the cells. Among the tested electrolytes, the sulfur cell containing LiBr salt exhibited the best electrochemical performance maintaining a specific capacity of 900 mAh g−1 at C/4 and a stable trend along cycling at 1C with a specific capacity of about 770 mAh g−1 for 200 cycles.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered one of the most appealing technologies for next-generation energy-storage devices. However, the main issues impeding market breakthrough are the insulating property of sulfur and the lithium-polysulfide shuttle effect, which cause premature cell failure. To face this challenge, we employed an easy and sustainable evaporation method enabling the encapsulation of elemental sulfur within carbon nanohorns as hosting material. This synthesis process resulted in a morphology capable of ameliorating the shuttle effect and improving the electrode conductivity. The electrochemical characterization of the sulfur-carbon nanohorns active material revealed a remarkable cycle life of 800 cycles with a stable capacity of 520 mA h/g for the first 400 cycles at C/4, while reaching a value around 300 mAh/g at the 750th cycle. These results suggest sulfur-carbon nanohorn active material as a potential candidate for next-generation battery technology.
