Researchers at Washington State University (WSU), led by Dr. Grant Norton, professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, are developing a nanoneedle tin (Sn) anode material for Li-ion batteries. For its battery development work, the team is currently using Li for the cathode and LiPF 6 for the electrolyte.

Group14, a provider of silicon-carbon composite materials ( earlier post ) and China-based Li-ion battery maker Farasis Energy ( earlier post ) reported a 25% boost in energy density for EV batteries made with Group14’s silicon-carbon anode material. The battery EV cell will have a volumetric energy density of 750 Wh/l.

Group14 will leverage this operating capital to scale production to meet the increasing demand for its flagship product SCC55, which affords up to 50% more energy density than conventional graphite for lithium-ion batteries. Group14 recently announced plans to break ground on its new hydropowered production facility in Moses Lake, Washington.
