The electrochemical behavior of a disordered carbon used as the anode in a lithium battery has been tested. The characteristics of this carbon, especially its specific capacity and cycle life, are such that it is a potentially unique, high‐performance anode material for new types of lithium‐ion batteries. The Figure shows the specific capacity versus cycle number of the disordered carbon electrode in a lithium‐ion cell.
