Wrapping a large sheet of negatively charged df-G around a positively charged Co3o4 creates a very promising anode for high-performance Li-ion batteries.
The researchers demonstrated that wrapping a large-sized negatively charged sheet of df-G around a positively charged piece of Co3o4 creates an anode with several impressive characteristics.
with its perfect crystallinity, improves the anode performance because when a single graphene sheet is wrapped around a bundle of Co3o4 particles,
and then electrically detaching from the anode, which would otherwise occur. Because of this protective effect, the anode's capacity is preserved even after 200 cycles,
whereas anodes with an imperfect graphene layer rapidly decrease with cycling. The large size of the graphene plays a key role in the performance
because a larger size provides a higher cycling stability of the nanosized anode materials by improving their mechanical integrity.
With these advantages, the researchers expect the df-G to bring significant advances of composite electrodes for a variety of electrochemical system,
