Production of Carbon Nanochains and Nanotubes from Biomass

Researchers at GW have invented methods as to the production of carbon nanochains and nanotubes from biomass and other carbonaceous materials. The novel resulting carbon nanochains and nanotubes are highly porous, highly stable, and highly inexpensive. As a result of its porosity, lithium metal can be deposited onto the carbon nanochain material by...

Greatly improved Li-ion battery – much higher “energy storage capacity” & “charging rates”

The problem: most batteries use graphite as anode material. Graphite has poor energy storage capacity. The solution: Researchers at the Geoerge Washington University (GW) have developed a new type of composite materials based on HCNS (hollow carbon nanospheres), which have the ability to charge at much higher rates and greatly exceed the energy-storage...
