Lithium-ion batteries have numerous advantages, including excellent energy density with high stability. One of the limitations regards the preparation of anode materials at low cost and high safety with good performance. Over the past decade, research has been focused on their improvement as composites, taking advantage of the synergistic effects between the materials. The object of this mini review is to summarize the synthetic strategies of composite electrodes based on graphene that are utilized for lithium-ion chemistries. Emphasis will be given on chemical vapor deposition and how this route can overcome the electrode issues for large-scale deployment.
