EnerG2 nano-structured hard carbon boosts Li-ion anode capacity by >50% compared to standard graphite

Green Car Congress

These properties can be tailored and modified for adaptation to the specific requirements of a given energy storage application. The [nano-structured hard] carbon is able to store more than standard graphite (which is what the 50% is based on) because it has a disorganized amorphous structure. Aaron Feaver.
