Sila Nanotechnologies Biggest Battery Breakthrough in Last Ten Years | NextBigFuture.com

Hyperchange has a conversation with Sean Mehta, a battery scientist at Sila Nanotechnologies, about the potential of transition metal-free Cathodes. This has the potential to disrupt the battery materials supply chain. Batteries are being developed that have high energy densities and cheaper materials. Nature – Aqueous Li-ion battery enabled by halogen conversion–intercalation chemistry in graphite In 2019, they created a 4-volt-class aqueous Li-ion full cell with an energy density of 460 watt-hours per kilogram of total composite electrode and about 100 percent Coulombic efficiency. The anion conversion–intercalation mechanism combines the high energy densities of the conversion reactions, the excellent reversibility
