Lengthening the Life of High Capacity Silicon Electrodes in Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Tuesday, December 2, 2014 - 16:02 in Physics & Chemistry

A new study will help researchers create longer-lasting, higher-capacity lithium rechargeable batteries, which are commonly used in consumer electronics. In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, researchers showed how a coating that makes high capacity silicon electrodes more durable could lead to a replacement for lower-capacity graphite electrodes.
