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. By comparison, realized capacity in a graphite/copper composite anode is only ~ 150 mAh g -1. —Kreder et al. Earlier post.).

MIT Researchers Find That Elastic Energy Storage Systems Built With Carbon Nanotubes Could Match Li-ion Battery Energy Densities

Green Car Congress

Densities for steel springs and Li-ion batteries provide a comparison. The best uses of such springs may be in cases where the energy is stored mechanically and then used to drive a mechanical load, rather than converting it to electricity first. Hill et al. Click to enlarge. These scaled-up springs need to be large (i.e., Resources.
