Redesigned carbon framework boosts battery safety and power



Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 26, 2025
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a covalently bridged fullerene framework that allows carbon-based lithium-ion battery anodes to store lithium in a more stable configuration while supporting fast charging. The new material, designated Mg4C60, connects fullerene (C60) molecules through covalent bridges, creating a layered structure that resists structural collapse and loss of active material during repeated cycling. Conventional lithium-ion batteries typically use graphite anodes, wh ... read more
