Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have developed a procedure to prepare surface-modified mesophase pitch carbon to increase the charge-discharge capacity and cycleability of carbon electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, carbon remains the predominant commercial anode material solution at this point.

Cost savings can be achieved by reducing material costs (notably platinum use), increasing power density, reducing system complexity and improving durability. It would also reduce global carbon emissions from vehicles by an additional 260 million tonnes per year by 2050—equivalent to the current annual emissions of Taiwan.

Each point of efficiency increase translates to major savings in fuel costs for each megawatt of power produced. (As As a point of comparison, the Siemens SGT6-5000F gas turbine for 60 Hz power plants offers a power output of 208 MW and efficiency of 38.590% in single cycle operation.). in simple cycle operation, and to 57.5%
