A new silicon-tin nanocomposite anode could lead to lithium-ion batteries that can be charged and discharged more times before they reach the end of their useful lives. The longer-lasting batteries could be used in everything from handheld electronic devices to electric vehicles.
Lithium-ion batteries, the most popular rechargeable batteries in personal electronics, are composed of 3 main parts: an anode, a cathode, and a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent...
