TLDR
In this article, the progress of lithium storage in different carbon forms starting from intercalation in graphite to the storage in fullerenes, nanotubes, diamond and most recently, graphene is discussed.Abstract:
In this review article we discuss the progress of lithium storage in different carbon forms starting from intercalation in graphite to the lithium storage in fullerenes, nanotubes, diamond and most recently, graphene. The recent advances in lithium storage in various novel morphological variants of carbons prepared by a variety of techniques are also discussed with the most important models in literature that have been set out to explain the excess lithium storage. The major emphasis lies on the real structure.read more

Large reversible Li storage of graphene nanosheet families for use in rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
TL;DR: The lithium storage properties of graphene nanosheet (GNS) materials as high capacity anode materials for rechargeable lithium secondary batteries (LIB) were investigated and the specific capacity of GNS was found to be 540 mAh/g, which is much larger than that of graphite, and this was increased by the incorporation of macromolecules of CNT and C60 to the GNS.
