They focused their comparison on techniques used in a three-dimensional model commonly used by environmental agencies to simulate ozone, particulate matter, and atmospheric acid concentrations, and develop effective emission reduction strategies. We consider this to be a “bottom-up” approach,” says Stockwell. Goliff & Rosa M.

Lifecycle study finds that environmental impacts of silicon-anode Li-ion battery could be roughly comparable with conventional Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

A conventional battery pack using graphite anode with the same capacity was the a basis for comparison of the life cycle impact results. Review of the literature indicates SiNW for LIB anode are mainly prepared in two ways: chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or wet chemistry method. The conventional battery pack had a total weight of 360 kg.
