LID - 10.3390/polym15010203 [doi] LID - 203 AB - One of the most critical challenges for commercialization of sodium-ion battery (SIB) is to develop carbon anodes with high capacity and good rate performance. Graphene would be an excellent SIB anode candidate due to its success in various kinds of batteries. Liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) method is an inexpensive, facile and potentially scalable method to produce less-defected graphene sheets. In this work, we developed an improved, dispersant-assisted LPE method to produce graphene composite materials from raw graphite with high yield and better quality for SIB anode. Here, bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as a green dispersant/stabilizer for LPE, a "spacer" for anti-restacking, as well as a carbon precursor in the composite. As a result, the carbonized BC (CBC)/LPE graphene (LEGr) presented improved performance compared to composite with graphene prepared by Hummers method. It exhibited a specific capacity of 233 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 20 mA g(-1), and 157 mAh g(-1) after 200 cycles at a high current density of 100 mA g(-1) with capacity retention rate of 87.73%. This method not only provides new insight in graphene composites preparation, but also takes a new step in the exploration of anode materials for sodium-ion batteriesSIBs.
