Caption

Poly (benzimidazole), the precursor for the proposed anodematerial, can be derived from biological processes and processed easily to create fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. Their adoption in electric vehicles will make them more attractive to consumers over conventional cars, leading to a cleaner environments and reduced CO2 emissions.
