US: Toughened silicon sponges show anode potential

Rice University reports that researchers there and at Lockheed Martin reported this month that they had found a way to make multiple high-performance anodes from a single silicon wafer. The process uses silicon to replace graphite as an element in secondary lithium-ion batteries, to improve their energy density and extend cycle Subscribe to Automotive World to … Continued
