Regardless of the cathode chemistry, be it LFP or NCM-based, the majority of commercial batteries rely on graphite as their primary anode material. Battery-grade graphite can be sourced either ...

Exposing graphite to an intense ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulse induces a highly conductive light-matter hybrid phase as optically excited electrons strongly couple to coherent optical phonons.

Schematic illustrates the pathway for lithium-ion diffusion from the electrolyte into the layered structure of graphite anodes. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of ...
