Alloy-type anode supplies, together with Si, Ge, Sn, Sb, P, and Bi, often have excessive theoretical particular capacities for electrochemical alkali steel ion storage. Nevertheless, they expertise important quantity growth/contraction throughout electrochemical alloying/dealloying with alkali steel ions, resulting in poor biking stability and low fee capabilities. Consequently, numerous methods have been proposed to suppress the amount variations and pulverization of alloy-type anode supplies, akin to incorporating them with carbonaceous supplies. Graphene and its derivatives, with their very best two-dimensional crystal morphology and distinctive chemical/bodily properties, are sometimes used as purposeful elements to enhance the electrochemical efficiency of alloy-type anode supplies. This evaluate emphasizes the current analysis advances in alloy-type anode supplies modified with graphene and its derivatives. It particularly covers the preparation strategies, the structural and morphological traits, and the electrochemical performances of Sn/graphene, Sb/graphene, Ge/graphene, Bi/graphene, and P/graphene composites for alkali steel ion batteries. The continued developments in bettering the electrochemical efficiency of alloy-type anodes with graphene are additionally speculated.
