Lithium-Ion Battery Developed at USC: Cheap and Strong
Researchers have long attempted to use silicon, which is cheap and has a high potential capacity, in battery anodes. (Anodes are where current flows into a battery, while cathodes are where current flows out.) The problem has been that previous silicon anode designs, which were basically tiny plates of the material, broke down from repeated…

Low-Carbon Hybrid Energy Systems: China’s Future Energy Solutions
Coal dominated energy resources and consumption dominate the energy structure in China. This leads to the great challenges for China’s future energy development along with both growing demand for energy and high pressure for CO2 emissions reduction. From the earlier viewpoint, the reduction of CO2 emission could be reached by replacing fossil fuel by low-carbon…
