Burned rice hulls could help batteries store more charge

New research finds hard carbon in rice hull ash, providing a cheap domestic source to replace graphite in batteries.

13-Dec-2024 - A closer inspection of ash from burned rice hulls, the hard outer layer of rice grains, revealed a form of carbon that could nearly double the energy density of typical lithium-ion or sodium-ion batteries. This sustainable source of 'hard' carbon, which outperforms ordinary graphite in battery ...
