Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have found that lithium ion batteries operate longer and faster when their electrodes are treated with hydrogen. Through experiments and calculations, the Livermore team discovered that hydrogen-treated graphene nanofoam electrodes in the LIBs show higher capacity and faster transport. “THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT WE’VE SEEN IN THE ELECTRODES IS A BREAKTHROUGH THAT HAS REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS.” -- JIANCHAO YE, THE PAPER’S LEADING AUTHOR More info: Making Better Batteries With Hydrogen | Department of Energy
