One technology that has the potential to deliver a step change in performance is the development of silicon-based anodes, due to the far greater energy capacity of silicon compered to graphite. In this episode I’m joined by Jeff Helm of NanoGraf Corporation to discuss the potential benefits and challenges of developing silicon-based anodes.
