A lithium-ion battery made with a bumpy carbon-based anode material maintained its rechargeable storage capacity in extreme cold. Courtesy of ACS Central Science. When temperatures fall below freezing, cellphones need to be recharged frequently, and electric cars have shorter driving ranges. This is because their lithium-ion batteries’ anodes get sluggish, holding less charge and draining […]
