Abstract

As material choices for battery applications, lithium (Li) and graphite each feature appeals and challenges. In this issue of Chem , Cui and coworkers report a clever method that takes advantage of the appeals of both, namely the high capacity of Li and the good cyclability of graphite, while addressing the challenges of each. Their approach is enabled by the high internal space within massive artificial graphite, where excess Li is stored and protected from reacting with the electrolyte. The results pave the way for near-term utilization of high-capacity anode materials that are compatible with other components of existing Li-ion batteries.
