In comparison, lithium-ion batteries made with other carbon-based anodes, including graphite and carbon nanotubes, held almost no charge at freezing temperatures. 35 °C, the reversible capacity is still effectively retained at 160 mAh g –1 after 200 cycles. An open-access paper on the work is published in ACS Central Science.
