title: Solvated graphene frameworks as high-performance anodes for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: A solvent-exchange approach for the preparation of solvated graphene frameworks as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries is reported. The mechanically strong graphene frameworks exhibit unique hierarchical solvated porous networks and can be directly used as electrodes with a significantly improved electrochemical performance compared to unsolvated graphene frameworks, including very high reversible capacities, excellent rate capabilities, and superior cycling stabilities.
