Abstract

Abstract: Very recently, graphene is extensively investigated as anode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its amazing superlative properties. With the nanostructural evolution of graphene, its electrochemical performances as well as other properties enhance to a new degree. The authors introduce the individual component, i.e. graphene as anode in LIB and SIB, and thereon evaluate how advanced nanostructures elevate synergistic effect when graphene and metal oxides/sulfides put together to develop nanocomposite and nanohybrid structure. At last, this review aims to extract out the most promising nanostructured anodes as well as pointing out the challenges to make it scalable. Highlights: The present review discusses the development of graphene-based nanocomposites and, nanohybrids anodes in rechargeable batteries since graphene discovery. It proceeds to a newer comprehensive two category graphene nanostructured composite based on chemical bonding. It remarks that the nanocomposite structured anode show best property in terms of Li and Na ion storage capacity.
