Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have combined mesoporous silicon microparticles, made from plant waste, with carbon nanotubes to improve the performance of silicon anodes in Li-ion batteries. “In the future, silicon will gradually replace carbon as the anode material in Li-ion batteries,” according to the university. “The capacity of silicon is ten times ...
