Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) have made significant strides in the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Their work, highlighted in ACS Applied Energy Materials, showcases a newly synthesized high-capacity anode that exhibits remarkable stability even at high rates. This innovative FeOOH-rGO-MnO2 composite anode could potentially outperform commercial graphite anodes in future LIBs, offering improved safety, capacity, stability, and charging speed. This development not only caters to the growing global demand for energy but also provides an environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. A patent has been filed for this ground-breaking technology, marking a pivotal step forward in energy storage devices.
