Abstract
Lithium ion battery electrodes including graphenic carbon particles are disclosed. Lithium ion batteries containing such electrodes are also disclosed. The graphenic carbon particles may be used in cathodes of such batteries by depositing a graphenic carbon particle-containing coating of a conductive substrate such as a metal foil The use of graphenic carbon particles in the cathodes results in improved performance of the lithium ion batteries.
