RE:News Release
RE:News Release Silicon enhance graphite seem to be the future way to go for batteries.
Elon Musk (as always) is very secretive regarding the chemistry that goes into the new 2170 Panasonic/Tesla battery, but 18 months ago Musk stated the following:
"In addition to the awesome engineering achievements that push the power limits to new heights, CEO Elon Musk revealed a bit more about the increase in energy density of the cells in the new 90 kWh pack. During a conference call, Musk told reporters that “it is, actually, as a result of improved cell chemistry. We’re shifting the cell chemistry for the upgraded pack to partially use silicon in the anode. This is just sort of a baby step in the direction of using silicon in the anode. We’re still primarily using synthetic graphite, but over time we’ll be using increasing amounts of silicon in the anode.”
