Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. As described in an open-access paper in the journal ACS Central Science , optimized storage capacities were more than 370 mAh g -1 (lithium) and 130 mAh g -1 (sodium) with no capacity fade under durability tests up to 200 and 600 cycles
