Abstract
Owing to the low cost, abundance and high working voltage, graphite cathodes have attracted tremendous attention in rechargeable batteries, especially in aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) and dual-ion batteries (DIBs). In this review, firstly, a general introduction is given to distinguish the working mechanism of graphite from the conventional metal oxide used as cathode in batteries. Secondly, the characterization methods of anion intercalated compounds, theoretical simulation of anion intercalation behavior into the graphitic cathode and the kinetic study of anion diffusion in graphite are discussed. Then, progresses and challenges of AIBs with different types of graphite cathode materials are presented. Next, typical DIBs systems with graphite cathode, a variety of anodes and electrolytes are introduced in detail. Finally, a conclusion for battery systems with anion intercalation graphite cathodes is draw, and a perspective is outlined to address the existing technical barriers that need to be overcome in future research direction.
