Robust Potassium-Ion Batteries from Lignin
• Potassium-ion batteries offer lower cost, higher energy, faster charge advantages.
• Lignin is extracted from wood and can be used as a source of bio-based carbon needed for batteries.
This project explores the carbonization of lignin and the applicability of this biocarbon for storing K-ions in batteries.
