New silicon oxycarbide glass/graphene anode material; lightweight, high-capacity and long cycle life

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Kansas State University have developed a new high-performance Li-ion battery anode material combining silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) glass and graphene. Silicon oxycarbide electrodes are expected to be low cost because the raw material—liquid resin—is a byproduct of the silicone industry.
