Realizing Lithium-Battery Potential: “Hanyang University researchers have developed a nanoporous silicon electrode that could at least double the charge capacity of a lithium battery–essentially doubling the range of an electric vehicle.


These silicon particles can absorb over six times more lithium ions by weight than graphite can, making them a candidate for creating electrodes for supercharged lithium batteries. (Jaephil Cho, Hanyang University)
