Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland have replaced graphite with silicon in anodes for Li-ion batteries. The researchers analysed the suitability of electrochemically produced nanoporous silicon for Li-ion batteries. It is generally understood that in order for silicon to work in batteries, nanoparticles are required, and this brings its own challenges to the production, ...
