The impact of the new breakthrough in lithium battery materials in South Korea on electric vehicles is briefly described

South Korean scientists have made a breakthrough in research and development of car batteries. Siliconoxidenanopowder, a newly developed cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, can more than double the mileage of an electric car in a single charge.

By South Korea's energy research institute (KoreaInstituteofEnergyResearch) JangBo - a team led by Dr Yoon said silica nano powder has been successfully developed, automotive battery capacity is thus multiplication, can be mass production in January next year, single charge can travel 500 kilometers.

In particular, thanks to low-cost silicon ($2-3 per kg) and induction heaters, they cost 30-50% less than Japanese competitors.

Researchers are working with a company to develop a new product that could go into mass production as soon as January to supply battery makers around the world, including TeslaInc.
