Researchers use graphite positive electrodes in high-capacity rechargeable lithium/chlorine batteries

Green Car Congress

This work could open up widely available, low-cost graphitic materials for high-capacity alkali metal/Cl 2 batteries. The new study found that the evolution of graphite over battery cycling, including intercalation/deintercalation and exfoliation, generated sufficient pores for hosting LiCl/Cl 2 redox. 2c07826.

Stanford team develops ultra-fast aluminum-ion battery with stability over thousands of cycles

Green Car Congress

A team at Stanford University, led by professor Hongjie Dai, has developed a high-performance, safe, fast-charging aluminum-ion battery that can last for thousands of cycles. Aluminum has long been an attractive material for batteries, mainly because of its low cost, low flammability and high-charge storage capacity.

Improving the Charge-Discharge Capacity and Cycleability of Carbon Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

As one of the many approaches under investigation to increase the power density, specific capacity, and cyclic efficiency of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, researchers are seeking to develop higher-capacity anode materials (such as silicon- or tin-based materials).
