Hx. Yang et al., STUDIES OF CARBON AS NEGATIVE ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR SECONDARY LITHIUM BATTERIES, Journal of power sources, 44(1-3), 1993, pp. 399-403
A number of carbon materials was investigated as lithium storage anode
s. The discharge/charge characteristics of the carbon anodes and its d
ependence on solvents were evaluated. The results from this study demo
nstrated that pyrolytic and carbon coke carbon in a mixed solvent of p
ropylene carbonate (PC) + dimethoxyethane (DME) have high discharge/ch
arge capacity, superior cycling efficiency and good rechargeability, s
uitable for use as lithium intercalating negatives in lithium ion cell
s.
