Replacing chemicals in li-ion battery with O2 enhances storage capacity 10x
In lithium-ion tech of today energy storage is limited by the lithium cobalt oxide electrode. These researchers have tried to replace it with a porous carbon electrode that lets lithium ions to react with oxygen drawn from the air during discharge. The replacement not only reduces the weight of the setup but allows a 10x increase in storage capacity.

Chemically Modified Graphene in Energy Storage Apps
Chemically modified graphenes with good electrical conductivity and very large surface areas, are extremely promising candidates for EDLC ultracapacitors. Our results applying these materials to ultracapacitors show they are compatible with commonly used electrolyte systems. In addition, these CMG materials are based on abundantly available graphite. Ultracapacitors based on these materials could have cost and performance that would accelerate adoption in a wide range of energy storage apps - Read More
