RE:Interesting Agoracom Post: Is Tesla waiting on nanosilicon
Thanks BCV I could google it I suppose, but in the interest of discussion, does anyone know about the properties of the silicon being piloted in the new plant when it comes to what Elon describes as a challenge? Per the article.... Then Musk goes on to detail the challenges of going to a silicon anode the problem with silicon is that it expands and contracts a lot during charge and discharge so, in the expansion and contraction it wants to kind of crumble, like mud cracks". Have a great week everyone.
