title: Graphene-encapsulated Si on ultrathin-graphite foam as anode for high capacity lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: A Si/graphene composite is drop-casted on an ultrathin-graphite foam (UGF) with three dimensional conductive network. The Si/graphene/UGF composite presents excellent stability and relatively high overall capacity when tested as an anode for rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
