Scanning electron microscope images show an anode composed of asphalt, graphene nanoribbons, and lithium on the left; And the same material without lithium, on the right. The innovative composition, developed at Rice University, is a first step towards the development of charging devices capable of charging electric batteries and accumulators at a speed that is 20 times faster than what exists today.
