UT Austin team develops new family of high-capacity anode materials: Interdigitated Eutectic Alloys

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes. Then, you can reduce the microstructure by rolling it, which is an extraordinarily cheap step to convert a microstructure into a nanostructure.
