Briefing
|
- SiliconX – Norwegian scientists at Institute for Energy Technology invented new material SiliconX as anode for more stable silicon batteries with better capacity
- Components – Include new silicon alloy made up of silicon nanoparticles and unnamed material
- Study Results – Show battery remained stable throughout charging cycles, with potential for greater power capacity than fast-degrading pure silicon anode, and three to five times charge capacity of graphite anodes in current batteries
- Future Applications – Include mobile phones that can be charged twice a week, and electric cars that can run more than thousand miles on single charge
- Next Steps – Gain support of Research Council of Norway to continue project and partner with private companies to commercialize SiliconX
