Researchers use graphite positive electrodes in high-capacity rechargeable lithium/chlorine batteries

Green Car Congress

The high surface area and large pore volume of aCNS in the positive electrode facilitated NaCl or LiCl deposition and trapping of Cl 2 for reversible NaCl/Cl 2 or LiCl/Cl 2 redox reactions and battery discharge/charge cycling. This work could open up widely available, low-cost graphitic materials for high-capacity alkali metal/Cl 2 batteries.
