Thanks to its high electrical capacity potential, silicon is one of the hottest things in lithium ion battery development these days. (pnnl.gov)
One of the greatest challenges facing lithium - ion battery development is solving the gradual capacity fading that accompanies each charge and discharge. (pnnl.gov)
To this end government policies in the United States and other oil - importing countries should: (1) encourage a shift to substantially more fuel - efficient vehicles, including fostering battery development for plug - in hybrid vehicles; and (2) encourage biofuels and other alternative and renewable fuels that wherever possible can be derived from waste products.
