This review summarizes recent advances in CD-based materials for advanced batteries. Methods for the preparation of CDs are first introduced, focusing on the feasibility of large-scale synthesis, and four critical uses of CDs are analyzed: electrolyte solutions, metal electrode coatings, electrode materials, and solid-state batteries. We then consider how CDs suppress dendrite formation, decrease volume expansion, accelerate charge transfer, and improve ion migration. Finally, existing problems are discussed, including the industrial production of CDs, their role as additives in the evolution of electrode interfaces, and strategies for giving them multifunctionality.\u0000\t\t\t\t<span><figure><span><img><ol><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download high-res image (166KB)</span></span></span></li><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download full-size image</span></span></span></li></ol></span></figure></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":19719,"journal":{"name":"New Carbon Materials","volume":"40 4","pages":"Pages 931-960"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144989515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their commercialization is hindered by the lack of practical anode materials. Among various reported anodes, conventional carbon materials, including graphite, soft carbon, and hard carbon, have emerged as promising candidates because of their abundance, low cost, high conductivity, and tunable structures. However, these materials have problems such as a low initial Coulombic efficiency, significant volume expansion, and unsatisfactory cyclability and rate performance. Various strategies to solve these have been explored, including optimizing the interlayer spacing, structural design, surface coating, constructing a multifunctional framework, and forming composites. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in conventional carbon anodes, highlighting structural design strategies, mechanisms for improving the electrochemical performance, and underscores the critical role of these materials in promoting the practical application of PIBs.\u0000\t\t\t\t<span><figure><span><img><ol><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download high-res image (119KB)</span></span></span></li><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download full-size image</span></span></span></li></ol></span></figure></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":19719,"journal":{"name":"New Carbon Materials","volume":"40 4","pages":"Pages 717-737"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144989599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post-plasma treatment has been explored for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene, but the procedures are intricate and not suitable for large-scale production. We report the direct synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene on a 4-inch sapphire wafer by ethanol-assisted CVD employing pyridine as the carbon feedstock, where the nitrogen comes from the pyridine and the hydroxyl group in ethanol improves the quality of the graphene produced.

With the assistance of NaBH₄, the resulting Pd/H-GDY was very effective in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), whose conversion was sharply increased to 97.21% in 100 s with a rate constant per unit mass (k‘) of 8.97×10⁵ min^–1 g^–1.

This review systematically summarizes the technological development of graphene synthesis by CVD, with a focus on recent progress in key areas such as single-crystal graphene growth, surface flatness control, precise control of the number of layers, and efficient large-scale production. Studies have shown that strategies such as substrate design, proton-assisted decoupling techniques, and oxygenassisted methods have enabled the wafer-scale synthesis of single-crystal graphene with electrical properties comparable to that of mechanically exfoliated samples. However, several technical challenges remain, including direct growth on insulating substrates, high-quality synthesis at low-temperatures, and the dynamic control of defects.

Problems such as local stress concentrations, an uneven surface tension, inconsistent adhesion, mechanical damage and contamination during the transfer can adversely affect the quality and properties of the transferred material. Therefore, how to improve the integrity, flatness and cleanness of large area 2D materials is a challenge. In order to achieve high-quality transfer, the main concern is to control the interface adhesion between the substrate, the 2D material and the transfer medium.

Their traditional production method relies on repeated impregnation-carbonization and graphitization, and is plagued by lengthy preparation cycles and high energy consumption. Phase transition-assisted self-pressurized self-sintering technology can rapidly produce high-strength graphite materials, but the fracture strain of the graphite materials produced is poor. To solve this problem, this study used a two-step sintering method to uniformly introduce micro-nano pores into natural graphite-based bulk graphite, achieving improved fracture strain of the samples without reducing their density and mechanical properties. Using natural graphite powder, micron-diamond, and nano-diamond as raw materials, and by precisely controlling the staged pressure release process, the degree of diamond phase transition expansion was effectively regulated. The strain-to-failure of the graphite samples reached 1.2%, a 35% increase compared to samples produced by fullpressure sintering. Meanwhile, their flexural strength exceeded 110 MPa, and their density was over 1.9 g/cm³. The process therefore produced both a high strength and a high fracture strain. The interface evolution and toughening mechanism during the two-step sintering process were investigated. It is believed that the micro-nano pores formed have two roles: as stress concentrators they induce yielding by shear and as multi-crack propagation paths they significantly lengthen the crack propagation path. The two-step sintering phase transition strategy introduces pores and provides a new approach for increasing the fracture strain of brittle materials.\u0000\t\t\t\t<span><figure><span><img><ol><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download high-res image (125KB)</span></span></span></li><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download full-size image</span></span></span></li></ol></span></figure></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":19719,"journal":{"name":"New Carbon Materials","volume":"40 3","pages":"Pages 703-716"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144501885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To gain a comprehensive understanding of LRMOs, this review discusses their crystal structure, major problems, and main ways of modification, and provides an outlook on their future. First, the crystal structure and energy storage mechanism of LRMOs are described in detail, and the key challenges they face are discussed, including densification of the crystal structure caused by irreversible reactions in the bulk and surface, and their loss of electrochemical performance (voltage decay, reduced initial coulombic efficiency, and poor rate capability). Strategies for modifying LRMOs are summarized and explored, including increasing the lithium-ion diffusion rate and improving crystal structure stability by elemental doping. The suppression of harmful side reactions between them and the electrolyte by surface coating during cycling (including phosphate coating, carbon coating, metal oxide coating, and conductive polymer coating) to improve structural stability is discussed, as are means of improving their interfacial stability with solid/liquid electrolytes by modifying the electrolyte, in order to boost their cycling performance. Their electrochemical performance can also be improved by binder optimization.
