　　Korean scientists have made a major breakthrough in the research and development of car batteries! The newly developed silicon oxide nanopowder (siliconoxide nanopowder), when used as the cathode material of lithium batteries, can double the mileage of an electric vehicle on a single charge.

　　The team led by Dr. JangBo-yoon of the Korea Institute of Energy Research announced that it has successfully developed silicon-oxygen nanopowders, which can double the capacity of automotive batteries. It is expected to be mass-produced in January next year, and electric vehicles can be driven on a single charge. 500 kilometers.

　　More particularly, due to the use of low-cost silicon materials ($2-3 per kilogram) and induction heaters, the cost is only 30-50% of Japanese competitors.

　　R&D personnel are working with a company to jointly develop new products, which will be mass-produced in January next year as soon as possible to supply the needs of global battery manufacturers including Tesla (TeslaInc.).
