Hanyang team develops new Li-metal battery for EV operating conditions; outperforms LMBs in the literature

Green Car Congress

Researches at Hanyang University in Seoul, S. The new LMB is capable of fast charging while delivering a high energy density. In general, however, fast charging accelerates the deleterious dendritic growth of Li and thus aggravates the parasitic reactions between the Li–metal anode and electrolyte. doi: 10.1039/C9EE00716D.
