Team optimises lithium-ion batteries via graphene mesosponge networks

Researchers at Yokohama National University developed a graphene mesosponge (GMS) that creates three-dimensional electron and ion transport networks in lithium-ion battery electrodes, significantly improving energy and power density without sacrificing fast-discharge capabilities. The porous GMS replaces traditional conductive additives, enabling higher active material loading and enhanced ionic transport for ultra-fast charging prospects.
