Rice, Lawrence Livermore scientists characterize performance of carbon-based Li-ion battery anodes; simple descriptor

Green Car Congress

Lithium-ion batteries could benefit from a theoretical model created at Rice University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that predicts how carbon-based anodes will perform. It doesn’t exactly tell you how strong the person will be, but it gives you some idea. The descriptor connects to properties that may be quite complex.
