Enhanced Roles of Carbon Architectures in High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Assembly strategies that reinforce the roles of carbon architectures as active materials, electrochemical reaction frameworks, and current collectors in high-energy and high-power lithium-ion batteries are summarized.To enhance structural stability and volumetric performance, the rational design of carbon architectures for high-capacity noncarbons in terms of the interface, network skeleton, void space, and densification, is discussed in detail.Designing carbon cages that protect the electroactive noncarbon is highlighted as a promising strategy that solves the challenges associated with future high-capacity noncarbon anode construction.
