Water-based process turns wood industry byproduct into carbon nanofibers for sodium-ion batteries

AI Summary

Researchers led by the University of Limerick developed a water-based process that turns a wood-industry byproduct into carbon nanofibers for sodium-ion batteries. The renewable material could reduce dependence on scarce, costly battery inputs.

A new study led by researchers at the University of Limerick (UL) has identified a new battery material from a renewable wood industry byproduct that could help reduce reliance on scarce and expensive materials.
