Rice, Lawrence Livermore scientists characterize performance of carbon-based Li-ion battery anodes; simple descriptor

Green Car Congress

Lithium-ion batteries could benefit from a theoretical model created at Rice University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that predicts how carbon-based anodes will perform. The materials offer vast surface area for ions to bind to in a compact package, Yakobson said. This work emphasizes the role of quantum capacitance.
