Porous Graphene Sponge Additives for Lithium Ion Batteries with Excellent Rate Capability

Abstract Rate capability as well as power performance of lithium ion batteries (LiBs) is becoming more and more important, especially as the application targets of LiBs move from mobile devices to transportation, such as EVs and HEVs. In this research, we report porous graphene sponge additives for...
