Breakthrough research overcomes key obstacle to longer-lasting Li-ion batteries for EVs
SMRTR summary
Researchers at UT Dallas identified the cause of degradation in LiNiO₂ batteries, a promising material for longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries in EVs and electronics. They discovered that oxygen atoms cause instability during charging and proposed reinforcing the cathode with positively charged ions to prevent cracking, potentially extending battery life significantly.
