Korea unleashes fire-proof EV battery that holds 87% power after 1000 cycles
SMRTR summary
Korean researchers have created a triple-layer solid polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries that is fire-resistant and explosion-proof. The new design maintains 87.9% performance after 1,000 cycles, surpassing conventional liquid electrolyte batteries. Each polymer layer has a specific function: a strong middle layer provides durability, while softer outer layers enhance electrode contact and performance. This technology could improve safety and efficiency in lithium metal batteries for various applications.
