Greatly improved Li-ion battery – much higher “energy storage capacity” & “charging rates”

The problem: most batteries use graphite as anode material. Graphite has poor energy storage capacity. The solution: Researchers at the Geoerge Washington University (GW) have developed a new type of composite materials based on HCNS (hollow carbon nanospheres), which have the ability to charge at much higher rates and greatly exceed the energy-storage...

Production of Li-Ion Battery-Grade Graphite

Researchers at The George Washington University are developing an innovative method to make high purity crystalline flake graphite from low-cost biomass. The novel Graphite technology invented at GW will slash cost of Li-Ion battery grade graphite (99.5% purity) by more than 80% (from about $20,000/ton to $2,500/ton). Considering the “STRATEGIC”...
