RE:RE:RE:New Press Release - GEN3 Silicon-Anode Lithium-Ion Batteries Outperform Graphite by 40% Without Degradation After 50 Cycles The way I see it right now based on only two factors - capacity and rate of degradation - these materials beat 100% graphite for applications requiring up to 150 cycles. Degradation seems to have reached the edge of the cliff and we don't know what would happen at around 200 cycles, for example.
There are probably a bunch of other parts to the whole story that are unknown. For example, how long to charge, how long before needing to charge, how do all of these things compare to commercially used materials that are not 100% graphite. Those in the battery space could probably have another half a dozen or more relatively basic questions that most of us here can't even think of that could explain why the news releases don't give the SP a pop. The journey shows promise in some ways, but also still some ways to reach the destination.
