NETL investigating researching chemistries for large-scale battery- and supercapacitor-based grid energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

The low specific capacity of commercially used graphite anodes limits the development of high-energy density Li-ion batteries. NETL researchers have synthesized Si-C (carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, carbon mattes, graphene) composite anodes. NETL researchers are also exploring ways to improve lithium-ion batteries.
