Make High Grade Battery Electrodes In The Microwave

October 24, 2017 | 8 Comments

Technical University of Munich (TUM) researchers have developed a process that allows a fast, simple, and cost-effective production of the promising cathode material lithium cobalt phosphate in high quality. The new process suggests higher lithium ion battery capacity enabling longer ranges of electric cars and longer the operating times of cell phones and laptops. The […]

A Silicon Anode Breaks Out for Lithium Ion Batteries

April 2, 2014 | 4 Comments

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a cheap, high-performing silicon anode and sulfur-based cathode for lithium-ion batteries.  The new anode is reported to be a cost-effective (and therefore commercially viable) silicon anode nearly three times more powerful and longer lasting than a typical commercial anode. Using silicon for the anode is […]
