Abstract

Present lithium-ion battery technology's charge durations and energy densities greatly impede the development of fast-grid energy storage technologies, electric vehicle adoption, and reaction times.   But fast charging requires strong currents, which polarize graphite and generate harmful side-reactions.   Consistently preserving 99.98% of capacity between cycles, this material has incredible cycle speeds, a strong a very high Li+ diffusion coefficient of 1.8 × 10−12 cm2/s, and a pseudocapacitive response of up to 90%. Researching and creating materials with very fast anodes for potential use in energy storage devices: the need of abundant, non-toxic ingredients is shed light on by these findings.
