BATTERY ELECTRODE COMPOSITION COMPRISING BIOMASS-DERIVED CARBON

An embodiment is directed to an electrode composition for use in an energy storage device cell. The electrode comprises composite particles, each comprising carbon that is biomass-derived and active material. The active material exhibits partial vapor pressure below around 10 torr at around 400 K, and an areal capacity loading of the electrode composition ranges from around 2 mAh/cm to around 16 mAh/cm.
