These are the mossy deposits that invade a battery&#8217;s electrolyte.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If they extend far enough, they short-circuit the anode and cathode and can cause the battery to fail, catch fire or explode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But the asphalt-derived carbon prevents any dendrite formation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">An earlier project by the lab found that an anode of graphene and carbon nanotubes also prevented the formation of dendrites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Tour said the new composite is simpler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;While the capacity between the former and this new battery is similar, approaching the theoretical limit of lithium metal, the new asphalt-derived carbon can take up more lithium metal per unit area, and it is much simpler and cheaper to make,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There is no chemical vapor deposition step, no e-beam deposition step and no need to grow nanotubes from graphene, so manufacturing is greatly simplified.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Researchers did not say if or when these batteries could be available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-4943648\/New-batteries-asphalt-just-5-minutes-charge.html\">The batteries made from asphalt that could charge your phone in just 5 minutes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By\u00a0Phoebe Weston For Mailonline PUBLISHED:\u00a014:47 BST, 3 October 2017\u00a0|\u00a0UPDATED:\u00a014:47 BST, 3 October 2017 Source\uff1aTour Group\/Rice University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":4983,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,91],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrial-news","category-news-center"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
