Carbon has been suggested as a possible anode material for the Li ion battery. Much work has been done in our group focusing on the cathode material, morphology, and performance. The carbon work will begin with fundamental studies of the electrochemistry of carbon and hopefully move into more applied studies paralleling those done on the cathode materials. Carbon may also be investigated as an electrocatalyst for fuel cell applications.
