New, Super Long-Lasting Battery Electrode

Stanford Seeks to Boost Clean Energy With New, Super Long-Lasting Battery Electrode "Using a nanoparticle of copper, copper hexacyanoferrate, the scientists developed a battery electrode that survived 40,000 cycles of charging and discharging, compared to 400 cycles for a lithium-ion electrode. Even after 40,000 charges, the battery still managed to retain 80-percent of its original charge capacity, according to Stanford."

"The Stanford team created the electrode using copper hexacyanoferratte, but is still searching for the proper material for the anode, although they say they have several candidates in mind."
