New research finds hard carbon in rice hull ash, providing a cheap, domestic source of the material that can replace graphite in lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery anodes The porous carbon network left ...

Rather than importing graphite mined from China or Mexico, rice hull ash could provide a higher quality domestic material for making battery electrodes. The process is also more sustainable than ...

Researchers have found that rice hulls, a natural byproduct of the rice milling process, release a special form of carbon when burned. That carbon dramatically increases batteries' energy density ...
