Mussel-inspired lithium battery targets EVs, keeps 80% capacity after 1,000 cycles

SMRTR summary

South Korean researchers created a mussel-inspired, three-layer solid electrolyte for lithium-metal batteries that achieves nearly four times the ion conductivity of standard electrolytes. In testing, batteries retained over 80% capacity after 1,000 cycles, potentially enabling longer-range EVs and safer, flexible energy storage devices.
