Stanford team develops new ultrahigh surface area 3D porous graphitic carbon material for improved energy storage

Green Car Congress

The carbons simultaneously exhibit electrical conductivity more than 3x more than activated carbons; very high electrochemical activity at high mass loading; and high stability, as demonstrated by supercapacitors and lithiumsulfur batteries with excellent performance. Tests were also conducted on lithium-sulfur batteries.

DOE awards $54M to 13 projects for transformational manufacturing technologies and materials; top two awards go to carbon fiber materials and electrodes for next-gen batteries

Green Car Congress

The top two awards, one of $9 million to a project led by Dow Chemical, and one of $8.999 million to a project led by PolyPlus, will fund projects tackling, respectively, the manufacturing of low-cost carbon fibers and the manufacturing of electrodes for ultra-high-energy-density lithium-sulfur, lithium-seawater and lithium-air batteries.
