 South Korean researchers have developed a technique to increase the fast-charging stability of silicon, which is being eyed as the next-generation battery electrode material. According to the Korea University of Technology and Education on Wednesday, silicon is in the spotlight as the next-generation electrode material to increase the mileage per charge of electric vehicles. However, batteries using silicon are facing difficulties in commercialization due to their lack of stability and rapid volume expansion, especially when charged at high speeds. A team of researchers led by Professor Soo-min Park of the Department of Energy, New Materials and Chemical Engineering at Korea University of Technology and Education, Professor Inho Nam of Jungang University, and Professor Hyunwook Lee of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) focused on the unique properties of potato starch, which is commonly encountered in everyday life. If you mix potato starch with a little wa...

Located in Haeryongsan Industrial Complex in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, Shin I&S (CEO Kim San) is a startup company in the field of thermal paint that blocks the scorching heat of the sun on buildings and roads, ultimately saving energy. While running a construction company and maintaining and repairing power plants, CEO Kim San was fascinated by Japanese heat-shielding paint in 2017, and in 2019, he started his own production and construction company specializing in heat-shielding paint. "Heat-insulating paint reduces the surface temperature of buildings by 20 to 40 degrees and the internal temperature by 3 to 5 degrees just by applying it," said Kim.  The use of heat-insulating paint has been increasing significantly since the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement, which requires countries, especially those that are signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to phase down their greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming.
