New coating test improves conductivity of lithium-ion batteries in under 5 minutes

SMRTR summary

Japanese researchers developed a new five-minute test that identifies the best coating conditions for lithium-ion batteries before they're even built. By applying the right shear speed during manufacturing, conductive materials spread evenly, lowering resistance and improving battery performance — potentially cutting waste and speeding up development for EVs and electronics.
