Science Daily  October 12, 2022 Using massive batteries to alleviate range anxiety is ineffective for mainstream EV adoption due to the limited raw resource supply and high cost. Fast charging enables downsizing of EV batteries for both affordability and sustainability, without causing range anxiety. However, fast charging of energy-dense batteries remains a challenge. A team of researchers in the US (Pennsylvania State College, State College (PA)) combined materials based on asymmetric temperature modulation with a thermally stable dual-salt electrolyte to achieve charging of a 265 Wh kg−1 battery to 75% (or 70%) state of charge in 12 (or 11) minutes for more […]
