Novel nanomaterial to replace graphite in lithium-ion batteries

Porous nanostructured microspheres made of copper, iron, and iron oxide were used by an international research team as negative anode material in lithium-ion batteries. The new technique is claimed to provide three times more capacity than batteries based on graphite anodes.An international group of researchers has replaced graphite with a new compound as porous-negative-anode material in lithium-ion batteries for household appliances from smartphones to electric vehicles. The novel material is composed of porous nanostructured microspheres made of copper, iron, and iron oxide with the formula ...
