Silicon-carbon batteries look like the solution to small battery capacity in Android phones, but there are two problems to overcome.

Researchers in China have used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to analyze the state of health of sodium-ion batteries. Extracting four features from the measurements, they were able to create a ...

Silicon can store far more energy than graphite—the material used in the anode, or negatively charged end, of nearly all lithium-ion batteries.

Of all the materials on the periodic table, silicon has the most promise as a full or partial replacement for graphite in the anode of lithium-ion batteries.

SCC55 is an elegant and stable combination of silicon and carbon, enabling the next generation of lithium-silicon and solid-state batteries.

Researchers from POSTECH and Sogang University developed a functional polymeric binder for stable, high-capacity anode material that could increase the current EV range at least 10-fold over current ...

Schlowsky: Silane doesn’t directly find its way into batteries, but it’s a key component in crafting materials essential for battery technology, especially in lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists from the Department of Chemistry at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, have analyzed lithium batteries using non-linear harmonic analysis and EIS. By comparing experimental measurements ...

Silicon anodes are favored for their ability to substantially increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries compared to traditional graphite anodes but are hindered by significant volume ...

Start-ups hoping to commercialize silicon materials for battery anodes raised nearly half a billion dollars in the final quarter of 2022. The money is intended to help them build factories and ...

With horizontally stacked cells that require less constraint in their packaging, Enovix's 100% silicon anode batteries are said to offer a big boost in energy per gram; i.e., longer battery life.
