OSPC: the new carbon material for safer, longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries

OSPC is a newly discovered porous carbon material that improves the safety and durability of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. When added in small amounts to graphite anodes, it suppresses lithium dendrite formation, reducing fire risk while remaining compatible with existing battery manufacturing processes.
