New lithium battery chemistry with fluorinated electrolyte can help make longer-range EVs
SMRTR summary
Chinese scientists developed a breakthrough lithium battery technology using fluorinated hydrocarbon electrolytes that achieves 700 watt-hours per kilogram energy density at room temperature, nearly triple current commercial batteries' capacity. The innovation maintains 400 Wh/kg even at -50°C, potentially enabling longer-range electric vehicles and improved performance in aerospace and robotics applications.
