Jijo Malayil reports in Interesting Engineering about a new charging technique for EV batteries.
- Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new approach for solid-state electrocatalysis in lithium-ion batteries, using a sulfur-doped black phosphorus anode and lithium cobalt oxide cathode.
- The innovative design enables an ultrafast-charging battery that can recharge 80% of its capacity in just 9 minutes, outperforming previously reported lithium-ion batteries.
- This technology shows significant promise for improving electric vehicle batteries, potentially enabling faster charging and better energy efficiency in the future.
“The team used heteroatom doping, a process in which foreign atoms, known as heteroatoms, are intentionally introduced into a material’s structure to modify its properties. In the context of battery materials, this typically involves replacing some atoms in a material (like carbon) with different atoms (such as nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus).”
