Graphitized biogas-derived carbon nanofibers as anodes for lithium-ion batteries

The electrochemical performance as potential anodes for lithium-ion batteries of graphitized biogas-derived carbon nanofibers (BCNFs) is investigated by galvanostatic cycling versus Li/Li+ at different electrical current densities. These graphitic nanomaterials have been prepared by high temperature...

These graphitic nanomaterials have been prepared by high temperature treatment of carbon nanofibers produced in the catalytic decomposition of biogas.
