They dunk a positively
charged graphite electrode into the salt and pass an electrical voltage between the electrode and the side of the crucible.
Not exact matches
In particular, they have to increase the number of
charge / discharge cycles significantly, which could be achieved by improving battery and
electrode designs as well as by using coatings other than reduced
graphite oxide.
The new battery
electrodes, described online in the journal Nano Letters, are anodes and can store much more energy than conventional
graphite electrodes because they absorb much more lithium when the battery is
charged.
