As Europe faces major setbacks in its electric vehicle battery sector—including high-profile bankruptcies like Northvolt and Morrow amid fierce global competition from China—researchers and investors are looking to innovations at the nanometre scale for a breakthrough. LeydenJar is tackling a key industry bottleneck by using plasma deposition to create an ultra-thin pure silicon anode foil that resists cracking, promising up to a 50% increase in battery life, energy density, and charging speeds.
