Abstract
A lithium-free anode having organic islands on a layer of graphene is provided. The lithium-free anode includes a current collector, a three-dimensional carbon lattice formed on the current collector, a first layer formed on the carbon lattice, a second layer formed on the first layer, and organic molecules formed on the second layer. The first layer includes copper, and the second layer includes graphene. The organic molecules are spaced apart from each other on the second layer.
