The New Approach of Intercalation Material for The Application of Rechargeable Lithium Batteries by Shi-Jie Wen, Xiao-Tian Yin, L. Nazar

“…In this paper, we show the results of the lithium electrochemical intercalation process in both black carbon-mixed zeolite and clay electrodes. In these solid electrodes, black carbon serves to delocalize (transport) electrons for balancing the charges while zeolite and clay offer the neutrally reversible sites for lithium ions. …”
