6 FAQs about [New silicon energy battery]
Should EV batteries be made out of silicon?
Silicon promises longer-range, faster-charging and more-affordable EVs than those whose batteries feature today’s graphite anodes. It not only soaks up more lithium ions, it also shuttles them across the battery’s membrane faster. And as the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust, it should be cheaper and less susceptible to supply-chain issues.
Can silicon be used as a lithium battery anode?
In fact, silicon’s first documented use as a lithium battery anode even predates that of graphite— by seven years. But experiments with that element have been plagued by technical challenges—including volume expansion of the anode when loaded with lithium ions and the resulting material fracture that can happen when an anode expands and contracts.
What is a Sila battery?
Sila’s silicon powder consists of micrometer-size particles of nanostructured silicon and other materials surrounded by a porous scaffold made of another material. The material enables batteries with 20 percent higher energy density (which translates to about 160 kilometers more range for an EV) than those with graphite anodes.
Is silicon transforming the way we store energy?
“Silicon has transformed the way we store information, and now it’s transforming the way we store energy,” says Group14’s chief technology officer, Rick Costantino. Silicon promises longer-range, faster-charging and more-affordable EVs than those whose batteries feature today’s graphite anodes.
Can amorphous silicon nanolayer be used for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries?
Kim, N. et al. Fast-charging high-energy lithium-ion batteries via implantation of amorphous silicon nanolayer in edge-plane activated graphite anodes. Nat. Commun. 8, 812 (2017). Zhang, Z. et al.
