A study that examines a new type of silicon-carbon nanocomposite electrode reveals details of how they function and how repeated use could wear them down. Silicon-carbon nanocomposite electrodes could lead to longer-lasting, cheaper rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles. The study includes videos of the electrodes being charged at a microscopic resolution which help researchers understand the strengths and weaknesses of the material. Lead researcher Chongmin Wang stated that the...
