45 Battery technology | Focus The prototype battery has an active inside surface of 5.5 cm 2  and can store as much energy per unit mass as commercially available lithium-ion batteries. The porous activated-carbon electrode is made from phenolic resin and can store about 1 wt% hydrogen in the electrode with a maximum cell voltage of 1.2 V.  The researchers are now looking at how atomically-thin layered carbon-based materials such as graphene can be used for a proton battery that competes directly with lithium-ion batteries.
