Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a safe, extended cycling lithium-metal electrode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries by entrapping lithium metal within a porous graphene network (Li-PGN). What is different is that the electrode material that stores the Li is all-carbon for both the anode as well as the cathode.
