Abstract
Nanomaterials are anticipated to be promising storage media owing to their high surface-to-mass ratio. Therefore, wide variety of natural and synthetic carbon nanoallotropes are of central of importance for energy storage applications, particularly in Li-ion batteries. Accordingly, for last two decades number of experimental studies have been reported on the synthesis of carbonaceous electrode materials for battery with Li storage capacity larger than theoretical limit for graphite (LiC6). However, the origin of excess capacity and feasibility of battery performance remain controversial. Therefore, it is not clear whether these new structures could have a higher capacity than graphite. Our experimental and theoretical studies of wide range of various type of carbon allotropes for Li-ion battery electrodes help to clarify the fundamentals of Li storage in carbon nanostructures and shed light on the rational design of nanoarchitectures for energy storage.
