In recent research, scientists have discovered a high capacity lithium-ion battery that can charge in a matter of minutes. This discovery claims to improve battery performance for consumer electronics, solar grid storage, and electric vehicles.The research was published in the Journal of Nature Communications.A lithium-ion battery charges and discharges move between two electrodes, called an anode and a cathode. In a traditional lithium-ion battery, the anode is made of graphite, while the cathode is composed of lithium cobalt oxide.These materials perform well together, which is why lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly popular, but now researchers believe the function can be enhanced further."The way to make batteries better is to improve the materials used for the electrodes. What we are trying to do is make lithium-ion technology even better in performance," said Nikhil Koratkar, corresponding author.Koratkar and his team improved the performance of batteries by ...
