Abstract

A team of scientists at India Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad, has developed a set of new electrodes that promise to help produce lithium ion batteries with higher energy densities. Battery cells consist of cathode, anode and the electrolyte that conducts ions between two electrodes. The energy density of a battery depends on voltage and specific capacity (the capacity to store amount of charge in the material per unit mass) of electrode material.
