Silicon nanotube lithium-ion battery stores 10 times more power, lasts 6,000 charges

A Stanford team, led by the battery master himself — Yi Cui — has developed a new lithium-ion battery electrode that still works at 85% capacity after 6,000 charge/discharge cycles, compared to current lithium-ion batteries (found in your laptop, iPad, smartphone) that are usually depleted after around 1,000 charges. The new electrode also has the possibility of increasing lithium-ion battery capacity by up to 10 times.
