Who killed the graphite anode? Researchers move silicon anode li-ion battery technology forward

Monday, October 11, 2010 - 13:01 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology with reversible capacity of more than 1,600 milliamp hours per gram (mAh/g) after 40 charging/discharging cycles. This silicon-based anode technology doubles the capacity of conventional graphite anode technology used in Li-ion batteries, and may lead to Li-ion batteries with much higher energy density and capacity.
