Graphene/Boron for Batteries (IMAGE) Rice University Caption A theory developed at Rice University determined that a graphene/boron compound would excel as an ultrathin anode for lithium-ion batteries. The compound would store far more energy than graphite electrodes used in current batteries. Credit Vasilii Artyukhov/Rice University Usage Restrictions For news reporting purposes only.
