This month we're showcasing research article titled "One-step dual process strategy for holey graphite towards scalable and stable lithium-ion battery anodes" from the University of Toronto.

One-step dual process strategy for holey graphite towards scalable and stable lithium-ion battery anodes

K. Rathi, V. Pakharenko, O.A.T. Dias, C. van der Kuur, N. Yan, M. Sain, J. Mater. Chem. A, 2025,13, 36564-36575 https://doi.org/10.1039/D5TA05487G

Researchers at the University of Toronto modified the surface of graphite to improve its functionality as an anode material in Li-ion batteries. By taking advantage of the EIS capabilities of the Squidstat Plus, the researchers determined that their treated graphite showed a smaller increase in charge transfer resistance and maintained its lithium diffusivity better than the pristine graphite after cycling. This was further emphasized by the decreased polarization observed during cyclic voltammetry.

This is just one example of how Squidstats are being used to further electrochemical research every day in labs all over the world! Do you want to showcase how you use Squidstats in your research? Send us an email at support@admiralinstruments.com!
