Title :
Carbonaceous materials as anodes in lithium batteries

Abstract :
The substitution of lithium metal by carbonaceous materials has enabled the realisation of commercial rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The switch from poorly crystalline carbons to well ordered material such as graphite results in a boost in the capacity. The lithium ion battery is much more interesting than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH as far as output voltage, energy density and self-discharge are concerned. Cathode materials of LiCoO2, LiNiO2, and LiMn2O4 are considered
