New High-energy Anode Materials | Future Lithium-ion Batteries
CNTs are one-dimensional cylindrical tubules of graphite sheet with high conductivity of 10 6 S m −1 (single walled CNTs), 19 low density, high rigidity 20,21 and high tensile strength up to 60 GPa. 22 CNTs are used as alternative anode materials where the insertion level of Li-ions can be increased from LiC 6 in close-end single walled …
