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

Green Car Congress

By comparison, realized capacity in a graphite/copper composite anode is only ~ 150 mAh g -1. Eutectic alloys are fusible: upon cooling they convert from liquids to intimately mixed solids. Then, you can reduce the microstructure by rolling it, which is an extraordinarily cheap step to convert a microstructure into a nanostructure.
