Better lithium-ion batteries are on the way from Berkeley Lab
Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smart phones to electric cars, but especially when it comes to lowering the cost and extending the range of all-electric vehicles, they need to store a lot more energy. The critical component for energy storage is the anode, and scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new anode material that can absorb eight times the lithium and has far greater energy capacity than today's designs.
