SEATTLE (ITRI.CO.UK): A research team at ARCI, Chennai, India have successfully used micron-sized tin as an anode for lithium-ion batteries to achieve cost-effective energy capacity, lifetime and power performance.
They used the
The optimised tin anode outperformed conventional graphite anodes, achieving capacities of 723 and 506 mAhg-1 at 0.1C and 1C rate respectively, retaining >80% performance after 1,500 cycles. A particularly fast delithiation reaction capacity of 478 mAhg-1 at 5C could boost electric vehicle acceleration.
Development of cost-effective, scalable and sustainable production routes will significantly increase potential for new tin use in lithium-ion batteries.
