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.
