Scientists at Boise State University have actually developed a new approach to making novel lithium-ion battery materials. Starting from an amorphous (i.e., a material lacking long-range order) niobium oxide, the group found that the very act of cycling the material with lithium induces a transformation to a novel crystalline Nb2O5 anode with phenomenal Li storage space and fast biking. This process can possibly be made use of to make various other lithium-ion battery materials that can not be quickly made via traditional means.

Silicon is one of one of the most appealing anode products for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. Nonetheless, silicon-based anodes are not being extensively utilized yet as a result of a series of challenges that should be resolved before silicon can be commercially applied in lithium-ion batteries.
