New electrocatalytic strategy enables ultrafast-charging lithium-ion battery

26-Sep-2024 - A team led by Prof. JI Hengxing and Prof. WU Xiaojun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Prof. DUAN Xiangfeng's team from the University of California, Los Angeles, developed a novel strategy for solid-state electrocatalysis in lithium-ion ...

Engineered electrode material moves battery research closer to 'holy grail'

An electric vehicle with such a battery could travel 600 miles on a single charge

12-Oct-2020 - Electric vehicles are gaining in popularity, but their long charging time is a significant detraction for potential customers. While a typical SUV with a combustion engine could travel 300 miles with a five-minute refuel, a state-of-the-art electric vehicle takes about one hour to store enough ...

Overcome the bottleneck of solid electrolytes for Li batteries

Chinese scientists developed an atom-to-atom strategy

03-Sep-2019 - MA Cheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and his collaborators proposed an effective strategy to address the electrode-electrolyte contact issue that is limiting the development of next-generation solid-state Li batteries. The solid-solid composite electrode created ...
