South Korean scientists have made major breakthroughs in vehicle battery development! The newly developed siliconoxenanopowder, which is used as a cathode material for lithium batteries, allows electric vehicles to double the number of miles they can charge in a single charge.
The team, led by Dr. JangBo-yoon of Korea Energy Research Institute, announced that it has successfully developed silica nanoparticles, which can double the capacity of automotive batteries and is expected to be mass-produced in January next year. Electric vehicles can travel 500 kilometers with a single charge.
More specifically, with the introduction of low-cost Silicon materials ($2-3 per kilogram) and induction heat generators, the cost is only 30-50 % of that of Japanese competitors.
R&D personnel are working with a company to develop new products, which will be mass-produced as soon as January, including Tesla Inc.) Including global battery manufacturers.
