optioned a PNNL-developed method for building titanium oxide and carbon structures that greatly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The new material stores twice as much electricity at high charge/discharge rates as current lithium ion batteries, and creates increased battery capacity and a longer cycle life.
