Nonetheless, even in the best reception prediction, the digital euro would still be used marginally, as over 1.56 trillion euros are currently issued in banknotes.
Unlike the U.S., which recently opposed the issuance of a dollar CBDC, Europe has been promoting the issuance of the digital euro to counter the rising relevance of dollar stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies.
In January, ECB board member Piero Cipollone stated that the digital euro would serve as a stopgap for the rise of these bankless solutions. “That’s why we need a digital euro,” he stressed.
However, incorporating tin, which can store more energy, has historically been tricky because it tends to swell and degrade during charging.
“The research team addressed this issue using a sol–gel process followed by thermal reduction, successfully embedding uniformly distributed sub-10 nm tin nanoparticles within the hard carbon matrix,” added POSTECH in a press release.
This prevents damaging swelling and also creates a synergistic effect where the tin enhances the hard carbon’s performance and contributes extra energy storage capacity through chemical reactions.
In rigorous testing, lithium-ion batteries utilizing this new anode demonstrated exceptional performance and maintained stable operation for over 1,500 rapid charge cycles.
Besides, these batteries also showed a 1.5 times higher energy density compared to those using conventional graphite anodes. This means they could potentially offer longer driving ranges in EVs without increasing battery size.
The breakthrough also holds promise for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which are a potentially cheaper and more sustainable alternative.
“Sodium ions generally exhibit poor reactivity with conventional anode materials like graphite or silicon. However, the hard carbon–tin nano-composite structure maintains excellent stability and fast kinetics in sodium environments, underscoring its versatility across multiple battery platforms,” highlighted the press release.
The 135 High-Performance Intelligent Driving version steps up to the DiPilot 300 (God’s Eye B), a more advanced system that incorporates LiDAR technology. This upgraded setup enables features like traffic light recognition, autonomous lane changes, and enhanced perception for complex driving environments.
Built on BYD’s latest plug-in hybrid platform with fifth-generation DM technology, the Sealion 07 is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. It delivers standout fuel efficiency, with NEDC-rated consumption as low as 4.7 liters per 50 miles when operating without battery power.
One of the longest for plug-in hybrids
On a full tank and fully charged battery, the vehicle offers a remarkable maximum combined range of up to 820 miles. This positions it as one of the longest-range plug-in hybrids in its class, ideal for drivers who want both electric efficiency and long-distance flexibility.
Big Brother: Digital Euro Will Substitute Banknotes and Bank Deposits
The latest report from the European Central Bank predicts that the digital euro will replace a portion of the banknotes in circulation, fundamentally reshaping how Europeans use money. Bank deposits will also be impacted.
Digital Euro to Reshape How Europeans Use Banknotes and Bank Deposits
While the digital euro, the project that seeks to implement a European central bank digital currency (CBDC), has yet to be approved, the European Central Bank (ECB) is already studying its effects on the current composition of assets, including banknotes and bank deposits, in the Eurozone.
The latest report from the bank indicates that the upcoming issuance of the digital euro can reshape how Europeans use money, substituting for currently used forms of money.
The bank estimates that the digital euro has the potential to substitute 5 of every 10 euros issued in physical banknotes from circulation. In the same way, the same study predicts that for each 10 digital euros issued, 3 will be removed from bank deposits.
The total impact of the digital euro was studied in three different cases, depending on the adoption and reception of the citizens. If the adoption remains low, 15 billion euros in banknotes would be substituted. If the reception gets to its highest level, 125.000 billion euros in banknotes would be taken out of the market.
Finally, if the adoption reaches its highest level, the bank predicts that the digital euro would substitute 256 billion euros in banknotes.
1,500 cycles, 20-min fast charging: EV battery breakthrough could end range anxiety
New anode hints at EV charging as fast as refueling, with significantly longer battery life.
Researchers in South Korea have made a significant breakthrough in battery technology by unveiling a new anode material that tackles two of the biggest hurdles for EVs: slow charging times and battery lifespan.
This innovative design promises batteries that can be charged in just 20 minutes and can endure over 1,500 charge cycles, which can eliminate range anxiety and long waits at charging stations.
“This research represents a new milestone in the development of next-generation high-performance batteries and holds promise for applications in electric vehicles, hybrid systems, and grid-scale ESS,” said Professor Soojin Park of POSTECH.
This breakthrough comes as the demand for better, faster-charging batteries surges, not just for electric vehicles but also for large-scale energy storage needed to support renewable power grids.
limitations of current graphite anodes
Today’s lithium-ion batteries primarily use graphite anodes. However, graphite’s slow charging speeds and limited energy storage capacity have been a persistent hurdle in the quest for widespread EV adoption and efficient grid-scale energy storage.
The joint research team from POSTECH and the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) developed a solution by combining hard carbon with minuscule tin nanoparticles.
Hard carbon, known for its porous structure, allows lithium ions (the energy carriers) to move much faster than in graphite, which enables rapid charging.

China’s BYD unveils 820-mile range hybrid EV with retractable drone landing pad
Its impressive range positions it among the top plug-in hybrids for those who value both electric efficiency and long-distance driving flexibility.
Making waves in the plug-in hybrid market, BYD has just unveiled its sleek Sealion 07, which is claimed to offer an impressive 820-mile range alongside a suite of intelligent features.
The new Sealion 07 DM-i Intelligent Driving Version is now available in three variants priced between $26,300 and $31,800.
It follows BYD’s Ocean Aesthetics design language, using subtle wave and water drop elements for a clean, modern look.
SUV debuts drone landing pad with one-touch features
The BYD Sealion 07 is the fourth vehicle in the Ocean Series, joining the DOLPHIN, SEAL, and SEAL U. With a length of 15.8 feet and a wheelbase of 9.6 feet, it offers up to 312 miles of WLTP range. The vehicle also provides solid performance, reaching a top speed of 134 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
A key highlight is the world’s first retractable drone landing pad, designed for seamless integration between the vehicle and drones. It supports dynamic takeoff and landing, automatic charging, and one-touch control. Additional features include follow-me filming, dual air-ground photography, and fast charging.
All variants of the Sealion 07 come standard with BYD’s DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system. The 150 Smart Navigation and 150 Smart Navigation+ models are equipped with the DiPilot 100 (God’s Eye C), which utilizes a triple-camera setup for core driver-assist functions.
