Graphite is a key component of the lithiumion batteries

Graphite is a key component of the lithium-ion
batteries that power everything from mobile devices
to electric cars. When lithium-ion batteries charge,
ions of lithium diffuse from the positive electrode to
the negative electrode and attach to the graphite
there, and when they discharge, the lithium ions
move from the graphite back to the positive
electrode

Silk to replaced graphite as storing lithium

ions
However, graphite is relatively bad at storing lithium
ions, which substantially limits the energy capacity
of conventional lithium ion batteries. Now scientists
at the Beijing Institute of Technology now suggest
that silk could help replace this graphite and
significantly improve battery performance.

Spider silk fibers

The strength and flexibility of silk has previously
attracted research into whether or not it can be
incorporated into electronics. For instance,a prior
study coated spider milk fibers with a carbon
nanotubesto make it electrically conductive and
three times tougher than regular spider silk fibers as
well. And In the new work, the investigators found a
way to chemically process natural silk turning it into
porous nitrogen-laced sheets of carbon only 15 to 30
nanometers thick. The electron-rich nitrogen atoms
improve the conductivity of the material and help
create additional sites to put lithium ions.

The benefits
They incorporated thenew material into prototype
batteries and supercapacitors in a one-step
technique they say can easily be scaled up. In the
battery, the new material could store five times more
lithium than graphite, while the supercapacitor
proved very stable, working for more than 10,000
cycles of recharging and discharging with only a 9
percent loss in stability.

The scientists detailed their findingsonline last

monthin the journalACS Nano.
