Swiss researchers devise simple procedure to enhance performance of conventional Li-ion batteries without changing chemistries

Green Car Congress

Graphite is the most advanced commercially available anode material, due mainly to its relatively high energy density, good reversibility, non-toxicity, safety and low cost. And it has the additional bonus of being transferable to other anode-cathode batteries such as those based on sodium.
