  • Zentek graphene antimicrobial mask COVID lithium-ion battery silicon anode

    Graphene shell to protect silicon anode

    Shane Lasley, Metal Tech News|Updated Mar 1, 2022

    Now that masks made with its patented ZENGuard antimicrobial graphene coating are being commercially produced, Zentek Ltd. is looking at other ways to leverage the superlative qualities of the graphene it produces to make the world a better place. This includes research into making better lithium batteries with graphene-coated silicon as the anode. As an anode material, silicon has shown the ability to have up to 10 times more storage capacity than the graphite that is... Full story
