MOSCOW, December 13. /TASS/. Researchers from the Siberian Federal University (SFU), the Krasnoyarsk Research Center at the Siberian Division of the RAS, and the National University of Science and Technology MISIS have discovered a way to make lithium-ion batteries double its capacity. To do so, they came up with the idea to use graphene and vanadium disulfide as an anode. The discovery is described in an article published recently in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

“The results of our study show that the structures comprised of graphene and vanadium disulfide can be applied as a perspective anode material for lithium-ion batteries with a high unit capacity and charge rate,” the authors wrote in the research article.
