Silicon Nano particles Found to Increase Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Ten Times

University of Alberta, Canada chemists Jillian Buriak (pictured above in a photo by John Ulan), Jonathan Veinot and their team found that nano-sized silicon particles overcome a shortcoming of using silicon in lithium-ion batteries. The discovery could lead to a new lithium-ion battery design with ten times the capacity of current lithium-ion batteries. “We wanted to test how different sizes

A stabilizing influence enables lithium-sulfur battery evolution

The hot-press procedure, developed at Drexel, melts sulfur into the nanofiber mats in a slightly pressurized, 140-degree Celsius environment — eliminating the need for time-consuming processing that uses a mix of toxic chemicals, while improving the cathode’s ability to hold a charge after long periods of use.Credit: Drexel University In late July of 2008 a British solar plane set an
