ORLANDO, Fla. - eTradeWire -- C-BATT™ is proud to highlight award-winning research presented at the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit (IBSE) in Orlando, Florida. IBSE is one of the world's leading conferences focused on battery materials, cell design, and energy storage technologies.

Md Zakariya Mohayman of the University of Central Florida received the 2026 Best of Show Poster Award for research focused on next-generation lithium-ion battery anode materials.

The poster presentation highlighted new research on Obsidia™, C-BATT's lithium-ion battery anode material designed to improve battery durability and performance. The findings show that Obsidia has exceptionally low volumetric expansion during charge and discharge.

Recent measurements conducted by Dr. Akihiro Kushima and his research group at the University of Central Florida show that Obsidia particles change in volume by only about 2-5 percent during full lithiation and delithiation. Conventional graphite anodes typically experience roughly double that expansion during initial cycling. Lower mechanical strain inside the electrode is attractive, as it can reduce cracking, particle breakdown, and other degradation mechanisms that limit battery lifetime.

Combined with Obsidia's high lithium storage capacity above 500mAh/g, this low-swelling feature enables longer cycle life, improved electrode stability, and greater tolerance to demanding operating conditions.

"This recognition highlights the significant progress being made in developing next-generation anode materials," said Dr. James Fleetwood, the Chief Technical Officer of C-BATT. "By combining high lithium storage capacity with exceptional structural stability and domestically sourced materials, this research moves us closer to scalable battery technologies unique to the U.S. that can deliver longer life, improved reliability, and stronger supply chain security."
