Carbon electrodes are conducting materials made of carbon that are used in various electrical devices and systems to carry and transfer electric current. Full definition
Examples include innovative glassy carbon electrodes for brain surface stimulation, and wireless power and data solutions for neural implants. (csne-erc.org)
In addition to tree leaves, the team and others have successfully converted potato waste, corn straw, pine wood, rice straw and other agricultural wastes into carbon electrode materials. (sciencedaily.com)
Finally, they wired up their pillars into alternating rows of anodes and cathodes, submerged their forest with a lithium - containing electrolyte, and showed that it provided 78 % more power than a microbattery made with thin - film carbon electrodes, they reported here 13 February at the annual AAAS meeting.
