An attempt has been made to review and analyze the developments made during last few decades on the place of carbon in batteries. First identified as an anode of interest in the form of graphite, carbon has also made a place for itself as conductive agent added during electrode formulation or also as buffer with electrochemical active oxide processing by conversion. The focus is primarily on how to decrease the irreversibility of classical anode materials then how to increase its whole performance through nanostructures, mainly CNTs and graphene. We have identified post-lithium batteries as an opportunity for carbon as anode but also as support to reversible cathode material. Operando measurements may provide several breakthroughs and allow the rational and real design of carbonaceous materials for high power anodes in all types of batteries.

已经尝试回顾和分析过去几十年中碳在电池中的地位所取得的发展。碳首先被确定为石墨形式的感兴趣的阳极，碳也作为在电极制备过程中添加的导电剂或通过转化进行电化学活性氧化物处理的缓冲剂而占有一席之地。重点主要是如何降低经典阳极材料的不可逆性，然后如何通过纳米结构（主要是碳纳米管和石墨烯）提高其整体性能。我们已经将后锂电池确定为碳作为阳极的机会，同时也作为可逆阴极材料的支持。Operando 测量可以提供一些突破，并允许合理和真实地设计用于所有类型电池的高功率阳极的碳质材料。
