Tin boosts silicon performance in lithium-ion batteries

Tin nanoparticles are key to stabilising silicon-graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries, according to the latest published research. This work adds to growing evidence demonstrating tin can significantly boost silicon performance. Adding just 2% tin can dramatically...

Sodium-ion battery edges closer to lithium-ion performance with tin

For years, research and development of sodium-ion batteries has taken place alongside lithium-ion batteries as the two storage systems have very similar chemistries. Since the 1990s however, lithium-ion batteries were seen as being more commercially viable,...
