New group of materials could lead to faster-charging Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The researchers, led by Professor Clare Grey, found that lithium ions move through the materials at rates that far exceed those of typical electrode materials, which equates to a much faster-charging battery. The maximum power output and minimum charging time of a lithium-ion battery depend on both ionic and electronic transport.
