New breakthrough or increase of electric vehicle mileage in Korean lithium battery materials

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.
